Karnataka State Syllabus Class 10 Maths Chapter 13 Statistics Ex 13.3
Question 1.
The following frequency distribution gives the monthly consumption of electricity of 68 consumers of a locality. Find the median, mean and mode of the data and compare them.
Answer:
Median
Cumulative frequency (cf) > \(\frac{N}{2}\) = 34 is 42 class interval corresponding to 42 is 125 – 145
∴ Median class is 125 – 145.
l = 125, h = 20, f = 20, cf = 22
Median = 137
Mean:
Assumed mean = a = 135, h = 20
= 135 + 2.06
= 137.06
Mode:
Modal class is 125 – 145. It has maximum number of frequencies.
l = 125, h = 20, f1 = 20, f0 = 13 and f2 = 14
∴ On comparison, all the three measures are approximately equal in this case.

Question 2.
If the median of the distribution given below is 28.5, find the values of x and y.
Answer:
Σfi = N = 60 (Given)
45 + x + y = 60
x + y = 60 – 45 = 15
x + y = 15 → (1)
The median is 28.5, which lies in the class 20 – 30
∴ Median class 20 – 30
l = 20, h = 10, f = 20, cf = 5 + x
25 – x = 17
x = 25 – 17
x = 8
Put x = 8 in equation (1),
x + y = 15
y = 15 – x = 15 – 8
y = 7
Question 3.
A life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate ‘ the median age, if policies are given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years.
Answer:
Cumulative frequency distribution table
Median class is 35 – 40
l = 35, h = 5, f = 33 and cf = 45
= 35 + 0.76
= 35.76
Thus, the median age = 35.76 years
Question 4.
The lengths of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimetre, and the data obtained is represented in the following table:
Find the median length of the leaves.
(Hint: The data needs to be converted to continuous classes for finding the median, since the formula assumes continuous classes. The classes then change to 117.5 – 126.5, 126.5 – 135.5,….., 171.5 – 180.5.)
Answer:
The given class interval data is in inclusive method.
∴ Convert to exclusive method.
Subtractive 0.5 for lower limit and add 0.5 for upper limit
∴ Median class is 144.5 – 153.5
l = 144.5, h = 9, f = 12 and cf= 17
= 144.5 + 2.25
= 146.75
∴ Median length of the leaves is 146.75mm.
Question 5.
The following table gives the distribution of the life time of 400 neon lamps:
Find the median life time of a lamp.
Answer:
Cumulative frequency > \(\frac{N}{2}\) = 200 is 216.
Median class is 3000 – 3500
l = 3000, h = 500, f = 86 and cf = 130
= 3000 + 406.98
= 3406.98 hours.
The median life time of a lamp is 3406.98 hours.
Question 6.
100 surnames were randomly picked up from a local telephone directory and the frequency distribution of the number of letters in the English alphabets in the surnames was obtained as follows:
Determine the median number of letters in the surnames. Find the mean number of letters in the surnames? Also, find the modal size of the surnames.
Answer:
Median:
Cumulative frequency > \(\frac{N}{2}\) = 50 is 76.
Median class internal is 7 – 10
l = 7 , h = 3, f = 40, cf = 36
= 7 + 1.05 = 8.05
The median number of letters in the surnames is 8.05.
Mean:
Assumed mean = 8.5
Class size = h = 3
= 8.5 – 0.18
Mean = 8.32
∴ The mean number of letters in surnames is 8.32
Mode:
Modal class is 7 – 10. It has maximum number of frequency.
l = 7 , h = 3, fi = 40, f0 = 30 and f2 = 16
= 7 + \(\frac{10}{34}\) × 3 = 7 + \(\frac{30}{34}\)
= 7 + 0.88
= 7.88
∴ The modal size of the sur names is 7.88.
Question 7.
The distribution below gives the weights of 30 students of a class. Find the median weight of the students.
Answer:
Cumulative frequency > \(\frac{N}{2}\) = 15 is 19
∴ Median class is 55 – 60
l = 55, h = 5, f = 6 and cf = 13
= 55 + \(\frac {2}{6}\) × 5
= 55 + \(\frac {5}{3}\)
= 55 + 1.67
= 56.67
∴ The median weight of the student is 56.67 kg
