The table below shows the salaries of 280 persons.

Question: The table below shows the salaries of 280 persons. caluculate the median and mode of the data. Solution: First, we construct a cumulative frequency table. $\therefore$$\frac{N}{2}=\frac{280}{2}=140$ (i) Here, median class is $10-15$, because 140 lies in it. Lower limit $(l)=10$, Frequency $(f)=133$, Cumulative frequency $(c f)=49$ and class width $(h)=5$ $\therefore$ Median $=l+\frac{\left(\frac{N}{2}-c f\right)}{f} \times h$ $=10+\frac{(140-49)}{133} \times 5$ $=10+\frac{91 \times 5}{...

Refer to Q.5 above. Draw the less than type

Question: Refer to Q.5 above. Draw the less than type and more than type ogives for the data and use them to find the meadian weight. Solution: For less than type table we follow the Q.5. Here, we observe that, the weight of all 70 packets is more than or equal to 200. Since, 13 packets lie in the interval 200-201. So, the weight of 70 -13 = 57 packets is more than or equal to 201. Continuing in this manner we will get remaining more than or equal to 202, 203, 204, 205 and 206. To draw the less ...

Refer to Q.4 above. Draw the less than type

Question: Refer to Q.4 above. Draw the less than type ogive for this data and use it to find the median weight. Solution: We observe that, the number of packets less than 200 is 0, Similarly, less than 201 include the number of packets from 0-200 as well as the number of packets from 200-201. So, the total number of packets less than 201 is 0 + 13 = 13. We say that, the cumulative frequency of the class 200-201 is 13. Similarly, for other class. To draw the less than type ogive, we plot the poin...

Find the mean age of 100 residents

Question: Find the mean age of 100 residents of a town from the following data. Solution: Here, we observe that, all 100 residents of a town have age equal and above 0. Since, 90 residents of a town have age equal and above 10. So, 100 90 = 10 residents lies in the interval 0-10 and so on. Continue in this manner, we get frequency of all class intervals. Now, we construct the frequency distribution table. Here, (assumed mean) $a=35$ and (class width) $h=10$ By step deviation method, $\operatorna...
