Calculate the mean of the following frequency distribution:
Class $10-20$ $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$ $50-60$
Frequency $12$ $16$ $8$ $6$ $8$
A
$31.4$
B
$35.5$
C
$37.4$
D
$38.8$

Solution

(A) To calculate the mean,we first find the class mark $(x_i)$ for each class interval using the formula: $x_i = \frac{\text{Lower limit} + \text{Upper limit}}{2}$.
$1$. For $10-20$: $x_1 = \frac{10+20}{2} = 15$
$2$. For $20-30$: $x_2 = \frac{20+30}{2} = 25$
$3$. For $30-40$: $x_3 = \frac{30+40}{2} = 35$
$4$. For $40-50$: $x_4 = \frac{40+50}{2} = 45$
$5$. For $50-60$: $x_5 = \frac{50+60}{2} = 55$
Now,calculate $f_i x_i$ for each class:
- $12 \times 15 = 180$
- $16 \times 25 = 400$
- $8 \times 35 = 280$
- $6 \times 45 = 270$
- $8 \times 55 = 440$
Sum of frequencies $(\sum f_i)$: $12 + 16 + 8 + 6 + 8 = 50$.
Sum of products $(\sum f_i x_i)$: $180 + 400 + 280 + 270 + 440 = 1570$.
Mean $(\bar{x})$ = $\frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = \frac{1570}{50} = 31.4$.

The mean of the following frequency distribution is $18$. Find the missing frequency $f$.
Class $11-13$ $13-15$ $15-17$ $17-19$ $19-21$ $21-23$ $23-25$

A
$87$
B
$8$
C
$9$
D
$10$

Solution

(B) To find the mean,we first calculate the class mark $(x_i)$ for each interval:
$11-13: x_1 = 12$
$13-15: x_2 = 14$
$15-17: x_3 = 16$
$17-19: x_4 = 18$
$19-21: x_5 = 20$
$21-23: x_6 = 22$
$23-25: x_7 = 24$
Now,calculate $f_i x_i$:
$3 \times 12 = 36$
$6 \times 14 = 84$
$9 \times 16 = 144$
$13 \times 18 = 234$
$f \times 20 = 20f$
$5 \times 22 = 110$
$4 \times 24 = 96$
Sum of frequencies $\sum f_i = 3+6+9+13+f+5+4 = 40+f$
Sum of products $\sum f_i x_i = 36+84+144+234+20f+110+96 = 704+20f$
Given mean $\bar{x} = 18$,we use the formula $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$:
$18 = \frac{704+20f}{40+f}$
$18(40+f) = 704+20f$
$720+18f = 704+20f$
$720-704 = 20f-18f$
$16 = 2f$
$f = 8$

Solution

(C) To find the mean,we first calculate the class mark $(x_i)$ for each interval:
$10-20: x_1 = 15$
$20-30: x_2 = 25$
$30-40: x_3 = 35$
$40-50: x_4 = 45$
$50-60: x_5 = 55$
$60-70: x_6 = 65$
$70-80: x_7 = 75$
The sum of frequencies $\sum f_i = 5 + 3 + 4 + f + 2 + 6 + 13 = 33 + f$.
The sum of products $\sum f_i x_i = (5 \times 15) + (3 \times 25) + (4 \times 35) + (f \times 45) + (2 \times 55) + (6 \times 65) + (13 \times 75)$
$= 75 + 75 + 140 + 45f + 110 + 390 + 975 = 1765 + 45f$.
Given mean $\bar{x} = 52$,we use the formula $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$:
$52 = \frac{1765 + 45f}{33 + f}$
$52(33 + f) = 1765 + 45f$
$1716 + 52f = 1765 + 45f$
$52f - 45f = 1765 - 1716$
$7f = 49$
$f = 7$.

A
$7, 8$
B
$8, 10$
C

D
$8, 7$

Solution

(D) Given total frequency $N = 60$.
Sum of frequencies: $6 + f_1 + 20 + 15 + f_2 + 4 = 60$
$45 + f_1 + f_2 = 60 \implies f_1 + f_2 = 15$ ---(Equation $1$)
Calculate midpoint $(x_i)$ and $f_i x_i$:
Class $0-10$: $x_i = 5, f_i x_i = 30$
Class $10-20$: $x_i = 15, f_i x_i = 15f_1$
Class $20-30$: $x_i = 25, f_i x_i = 500$
Class $30-40$: $x_i = 35, f_i x_i = 525$
Class $40-50$: $x_i = 45, f_i x_i = 45f_2$
Class $50-60$: $x_i = 55, f_i x_i = 220$
Sum $\sum f_i x_i = 30 + 15f_1 + 500 + 525 + 45f_2 + 220 = 1275 + 15f_1 + 45f_2$
Mean $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{N} = 28.5$
$\frac{1275 + 15f_1 + 45f_2}{60} = 28.5$
$1275 + 15f_1 + 45f_2 = 1710$
$15f_1 + 45f_2 = 435$
Divide by $15$: $f_1 + 3f_2 = 29$ ---(Equation $2$)
Subtract Equation $1$ from Equation $2$:
$(f_1 + 3f_2) - (f_1 + f_2) = 29 - 15$
$2f_2 = 14 \implies f_2 = 7$
Substitute $f_2 = 7$ in Equation $1$: $f_1 + 7 = 15 \implies f_1 = 8$.
Thus,$f_1 = 8$ and $f_2 = 7$.

The mean of the following frequency distribution is $60$ and the total frequency is $120$. Find the missing frequencies $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$.
Class $10-30$ $30-50$ $50-70$ $70-90$ $90-110$
Frequency $17$ $f_{1}$ $32$ $f_{2}$ $19$
A
$f_{1} = 28, f_{2} = 24$
B
$f_{1} = 20, f_{2} = 24$
C
$f_{1} = 28, f_{2} = 20$
D
$f_{1} = 38, f_{2} = 55$

Solution

(A) Given total frequency $\sum f_i = 120$. Thus,$17 + f_1 + 32 + f_2 + 19 = 120 \implies f_1 + f_2 = 52$ (Equation $1$).
The class marks $(x_i)$ are $20, 40, 60, 80, 100$. The sum $\sum f_i x_i = (17 \times 20) + (f_1 \times 40) + (32 \times 60) + (f_2 \times 80) + (19 \times 100) = 340 + 40f_1 + 1920 + 80f_2 + 1900 = 4160 + 40f_1 + 80f_2$.
Mean $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = 60 \implies \frac{4160 + 40f_1 + 80f_2}{120} = 60$.
$4160 + 40f_1 + 80f_2 = 7200 \implies 40f_1 + 80f_2 = 3040 \implies f_1 + 2f_2 = 76$ (Equation $2$).
Subtracting Equation $1$ from Equation $2$: $(f_1 + 2f_2) - (f_1 + f_2) = 76 - 52 \implies f_2 = 24$.
Substituting $f_2 = 24$ in Equation $1$: $f_1 + 24 = 52 \implies f_1 = 28$. Thus,$f_1 = 28$ and $f_2 = 24$.

Find the mode of the following frequency distribution:
Class $0-100$ $100-200$ $200-300$ $300-400$ $400-500$ $500-600$
Frequency $7$ $21$ $37$ $13$ $12$ $10$
A
$120$
B
$240$
C
$560$
D
$340$

Solution

(B) The modal class is the class with the highest frequency. Here,the highest frequency is $37$,which corresponds to the class interval $200-300$.
Thus,the modal class is $200-300$.
We use the formula for mode: $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Where:
$l$ (lower limit of modal class) $= 200$
$h$ (class size) $= 100$
$f_1$ (frequency of modal class) $= 37$
$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= 21$
$f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= 13$
Substituting these values into the formula:
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{37 - 21}{2(37) - 21 - 13} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{16}{74 - 34} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + \left( \frac{16}{40} \right) \times 100$
$Z = 200 + 0.4 \times 100$
$Z = 200 + 40 = 240$
Therefore,the mode of the given frequency distribution is $240$.

The mode of the following data is $33 \frac{1}{3}$ and the total frequency is $100$. Find the missing frequencies $x$ and $y$.
Class $0-10$ $10-20$ $20-30$ $30-40$ $40-50$ $50-60$
Frequency $7$ $12$ $x$ $28$ $y$ $9$

Solution

(A) Here,the mode $33 \frac{1}{3}$ lies in the class $30-40$.
Therefore,$30-40$ is the modal class.
Now,$c$ (class length) $= 10$,$l$ (lower limit of the modal class) $= 30$,$f_1$ (frequency of the modal class) $= 28$,$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= x$,and $f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= y$.
Substituting the values in the mode formula $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times c$:
$33 \frac{1}{3} = 30 + \left( \frac{28 - x}{2(28) - x - y} \right) \times 10$
$3 \frac{1}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y} \times 10$
$\frac{10}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y} \times 10$
$\frac{1}{3} = \frac{28 - x}{56 - x - y}$
$56 - x - y = 84 - 3x$
$2x - y = 28$ ... $(1)$
Moreover,the total frequency is $100$.
$7 + 12 + x + 28 + y + 9 = 100$
$56 + x + y = 100$
$x + y = 44$ ... $(2)$
Adding equations $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$3x = 72 \implies x = 24$
Substituting $x = 24$ in equation $(2)$:
$24 + y = 44 \implies y = 20$
Thus,the missing frequencies are $x = 24$ and $y = 20$.

Solution

(D) To find the mode of a grouped frequency distribution,we use the formula:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class (the class with the highest frequency). Here,the highest frequency is $55$,which corresponds to the class interval $60-70$.
$2$. From the modal class:
Lower limit $(l)$ = $60$
Frequency of the modal class $(f_1)$ = $55$
Frequency of the class preceding the modal class $(f_0)$ = $43$
Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $(f_2)$ = $37$
Class size $(h)$ = $70 - 60 = 10$
$3$. Substitute the values into the formula:
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{55 - 43}{2(55) - 43 - 37} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{110 - 80} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 60 + \left( \frac{12}{3} \right)$
$Mode = 60 + 4 = 64$
Therefore,the mode of the given frequency distribution is $64$.

Solution

(A) To find the mode of a grouped frequency distribution,we use the formula:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class: The class with the highest frequency is $40-60$ (frequency $26$).
$2$. Here,the lower limit of the modal class $l = 40$,the size of the class interval $h = 20$.
$3$. The frequency of the modal class $f_1 = 26$.
$4$. The frequency of the class preceding the modal class $f_0 = 9$.
$5$. The frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $f_2 = 23$.
$6$. Substituting these values into the formula:
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{26 - 9}{2(26) - 9 - 23} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{17}{52 - 32} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{17}{20} \right) \times 20$
$Mode = 40 + 17 = 57$
Thus,the mode is $57$.

Solution

(B) The formula for the mode of a grouped frequency distribution is given by:
$Mode = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$1$. Identify the modal class: The class with the highest frequency is $40-50$,so the modal class is $40-50$.
$2$. Identify the parameters:
- Lower limit of the modal class $(l)$ = $40$
- Frequency of the modal class $(f_1)$ = $42$
- Frequency of the class preceding the modal class $(f_0)$ = $24$
- Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class $(f_2)$ = $30$
- Class size $(h)$ = $10$
$3$. Substitute the values into the formula:
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{42 - 24}{2(42) - 24 - 30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{84 - 54} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{30} \right) \times 10$
$Mode = 40 + \left( \frac{18}{3} \right) = 40 + 6 = 46$
Thus,the mode is $46$.

D

Solution

(C) The modal class is the class with the highest frequency. Here,the highest frequency is $66$,which corresponds to the class interval $60-75$.
Formula for mode: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Here:
$l$ (lower limit of modal class) $= 60$
$h$ (class size) $= 15$
$f_1$ (frequency of modal class) $= 66$
$f_0$ (frequency of the class preceding the modal class) $= 45$
$f_2$ (frequency of the class succeeding the modal class) $= 42$
Substituting the values:
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{66 - 45}{2(66) - 45 - 42} \right) \times 15$
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{21}{132 - 87} \right) \times 15$
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{21}{45} \right) \times 15$
$\text{Mode} = 60 + \left( \frac{21}{3} \right) = 60 + 7 = 67$

Find the median of the following frequency distribution:
Class $65-85$ $85-105$ $105-125$ $125-145$ $145-165$ $165-185$ $185-205$
Frequency $4$ $5$ $13$ $20$ $14$ $8$ $4$
A
$134$
B
$136$
C
$135$
D
$137$

Solution

(D) To find the median,we first prepare the cumulative frequency table:
Class Frequency $(f)$ Cumulative Frequency $(cf)$
$65-85$ $4$ $4$
$85-105$ $5$ $9$
$105-125$ $13$ $22$
$125-145$ $20$ $42$
$145-165$ $14$ $56$
$165-185$ $8$ $64$
$185-205$ $4$ $68$

Here,total frequency $n = 68$.
$\therefore \frac{n}{2} = \frac{68}{2} = 34$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $34$ is $42$,which corresponds to the class interval $125-145$.
Thus,the median class is $125-145$.
Here,$l = 125$,$cf = 22$,$f = 20$,and class size $h = 20$.
Using the median formula: $M = l + \left( \frac{\frac{n}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$M = 125 + \left( \frac{34 - 22}{20} \right) \times 20$
$M = 125 + 12 = 137$.
Therefore,the median of the given frequency distribution is $137$.

Solution

ClassFrequency $(f)$Cumulative frequency $(cf)$
$0-10$$5$$5$
$10-20$$x$$5+x$
$20-30$$20$$25+x$
$30-40$$15$$40+x$
$40-50$$y$$40+x+y$
$50-60$$5$$45+x+y$

Given total frequency $n = 60$.
Therefore,$45 + x + y = 60 \implies x + y = 15$ (Equation $1$).
Since $n = 60$,$\frac{n}{2} = 30$.
The median $28.5$ lies in the class $20-30$. Thus,the median class is $20-30$.
Here,$l = 20$,$cf = 5 + x$,$f = 20$,and class size $h = 10$.
Using the median formula: $Median = l + \left( \frac{\frac{n}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$28.5 = 20 + \left( \frac{30 - (5 + x)}{20} \right) \times 10$
$8.5 = \frac{25 - x}{2}$
$17 = 25 - x \implies x = 8$.
Substituting $x = 8$ in Equation $1$: $8 + y = 15 \implies y = 7$.
The missing frequencies are $x = 8$ and $y = 7$.

Class Frequency $(f)$ Cumulative frequency $(cf)$
$5-10$ $5$ $5$
$10-15$ $6$ $11$
$15-20$ $15$ $26$
$20-25$ $10$ $36$
$25-30$ $5$ $41$
$30-35$ $4$ $45$
$35-40$ $2$ $47$
$40-45$ $2$ $49$

Here,the total frequency $n = 49$.
$\therefore \frac{n}{2} = \frac{49}{2} = 24.5$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $24.5$ is $26$,which corresponds to the class interval $15-20$.
Therefore,the median class is $15-20$.
Here,$l = 15$ (lower limit of median class),$cf = 11$ (cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class),$f = 15$ (frequency of the median class),and $h = 5$ (class size).
Using the median formula: $M = l + \left( \frac{\frac{n}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$M = 15 + \left( \frac{24.5 - 11}{15} \right) \times 5$
$M = 15 + \left( \frac{13.5}{15} \right) \times 5$
$M = 15 + \frac{13.5}{3} = 15 + 4.5 = 19.5$.
Thus,the median of the given frequency distribution is $19.5$.

$60-65$$9$$59$
$65-70$$5$$64$
$70-75$$3$$67$

Total frequency $N = 67$. So,$N/2 = 67/2 = 33.5$.
Looking at the $cf$ column,the median class is $50-55$ because $33.5$ lies in this interval.
Here,lower limit $l = 50$,class size $h = 5$,frequency of median class $f = 17$,and cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class $cf = 18$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{N/2 - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$\text{Median} = 50 + \left( \frac{33.5 - 18}{17} \right) \times 5$
$\text{Median} = 50 + \left( \frac{15.5}{17} \right) \times 5$
$\text{Median} = 50 + \frac{77.5}{17} \approx 50 + 4.5588 \approx 54.56$.

$100-110$$20$$90$
$110-120$$8$$98$

Total frequency $N = 98$. So,$N/2 = 98/2 = 49$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $49$ is $70$,which corresponds to the class interval $90-100$. Thus,the median class is $90-100$.
Here,$l = 90$,$f = 30$,$cf = 40$,and $h = 10$.
Using the formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$\text{Median} = 90 + \left( \frac{49 - 40}{30} \right) \times 10$
$\text{Median} = 90 + \left( \frac{9}{30} \right) \times 10 = 90 + 3 = 93$.

| $180-190$ | $22$ | $387$ |
| $190-200$ | $3$ | $390$ |
Total frequency $N = 390$. So,$N/2 = 390/2 = 195$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $195$ is $267$,which corresponds to the class interval $150-160$.
Thus,the median class is $150-160$.
Here,lower limit $l = 150$,frequency of median class $f = 116$,cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class $cf = 151$,and class size $h = 10$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{N/2 - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$\text{Median} = 150 + \left( \frac{195 - 151}{116} \right) \times 10$
$\text{Median} = 150 + \left( \frac{44}{116} \right) \times 10 = 150 + \frac{440}{116} \approx 150 + 3.79 = 153.79$.

Total frequency $N = 100$. So,$N/2 = 50$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $50$ is $52$,which corresponds to the class interval $40-50$.
Thus,the median class is $40-50$.
Here,$l = 40$,$f = 20$,$cf = 32$,and $h = 10$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{N/2 - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$\text{Median} = 40 + \left( \frac{50 - 32}{20} \right) \times 10$

Total frequency $N = 50$. So,$N/2 = 25$.
The cumulative frequency just greater than $25$ is $35$,which corresponds to the class interval $10-15$.
Thus,the median class is $10-15$.
Here,$l = 10$,$f = 15$,$cf$ (of preceding class) $= 20$,and $h = 5$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$\text{Median} = 10 + \left( \frac{25 - 20}{15} \right) \times 5$

Frequency $2$ $5$ $x$ $12$ $17$ $20$ $y$ $9$ $7$ $4$

Solution

(A) Given,total frequency $N = 100$.
Sum of frequencies: $2 + 5 + x + 12 + 17 + 20 + y + 9 + 7 + 4 = 100$
$76 + x + y = 100 \implies x + y = 24$ --- $(1)$
Since the median is $525$,the median class is $500-600$.
Here,$l = 500$,$f = 20$,$cf = (2 + 5 + x + 12 + 17) = 36 + x$,$h = 100$,and $N/2 = 50$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$525 = 500 + \left( \frac{50 - (36 + x)}{20} \right) \times 100$
$25 = (14 - x) \times 5$
$5 = 14 - x \implies x = 9$
Substituting $x = 9$ in $(1)$: $9 + y = 24 \implies y = 15$.
Thus,$x = 9$ and $y = 15$.

Solution

(N/A) Given total frequency $N = 230$.
Sum of frequencies: $12 + 30 + x + 65 + y + 25 + 18 = 230$
$150 + x + y = 230 \implies x + y = 80$ ---(Equation $1$)
Since the median is $46$,the median class is $40-50$.
Here,$l = 40$,$h = 10$,$f = 65$,$N = 230$,and cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class $cf = 12 + 30 + x = 42 + x$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$
$46 = 40 + \left( \frac{115 - (42 + x)}{65} \right) \times 10$
$6 = \left( \frac{73 - x}{65} \right) \times 10$
$6 \times 6.5 = 73 - x$
$39 = 73 - x \implies x = 34$.
Substituting $x = 34$ in Equation $1$: $34 + y = 80 \implies y = 46$.
Thus,$x = 34$ and $y = 46$.

Number of students$26$$26$$x$$110$$84$$y$$36$$32$

Solution

(N/A) The total number of students is $N = 400$.
Therefore,$26 + 26 + x + 110 + 84 + y + 36 + 32 = 400$.
$314 + x + y = 400 \implies x + y = 86$ ---$(i)$
The mean $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = 41.2$.
The class marks $(x_i)$ are: $5, 15, 25, 35, 45, 55, 65, 75$.
The sum of $f_i x_i$ is: $(26 \times 5) + (26 \times 15) + (x \times 25) + (110 \times 35) + (84 \times 45) + (y \times 55) + (36 \times 65) + (32 \times 75)$.
$= 130 + 390 + 25x + 3850 + 3780 + 55y + 2340 + 2400 = 12890 + 25x + 55y$.
Thus,$\frac{12890 + 25x + 55y}{400} = 41.2$.
$12890 + 25x + 55y = 16480 \implies 25x + 55y = 3590$.
Dividing by $5$,we get $5x + 11y = 718$ ---(ii).
From equation $(i)$,$x = 86 - y$. Substituting this into $(ii)$:
$5(86 - y) + 11y = 718 \implies 430 - 5y + 11y = 718$.
$6y = 288 \implies y = 48$.
Therefore,$x = 86 - 48 = 38$.
Answer: $x = 38, y = 48$.

C
$38$
D
$28$

Solution

(B) To find the mean of a grouped frequency distribution,we use the formula $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$.
First,calculate the class marks $(x_i)$ for each interval:
$0-20: x_1 = 10$
$20-40: x_2 = 30$
$40-60: x_3 = 50$
$60-80: x_4 = 70$
$80-100: x_5 = 90$
$100-120: x_6 = 110$
Now,calculate $\sum f_i x_i = (10 \times 10) + (f \times 30) + (7 \times 50) + (6 \times 70) + (5 \times 90) + (4 \times 110) = 100 + 30f + 350 + 420 + 450 + 440 = 1760 + 30f$.
Calculate $\sum f_i = 10 + f + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 = 32 + f$.
Given the mean $\bar{x} = 46$,we have $46 = \frac{1760 + 30f}{32 + f}$.
$46(32 + f) = 1760 + 30f$
$1472 + 46f = 1760 + 30f$
$46f - 30f = 1760 - 1472$
$16f = 288$
$f = \frac{288}{16} = 18$.

The class marks $(f_i)$ are $5, 15, 25, 35, 45$.
Mean $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = 26.5$.
$\sum f_i x_i = (6 \times 5) + (x \times 15) + (17 \times 25) + (y \times 35) + (8 \times 45) = 30 + 15x + 425 + 35y + 360 = 815 + 15x + 35y$.
$\frac{815 + 15x + 35y}{60} = 26.5 \implies 815 + 15x + 35y = 1590 \implies 15x + 35y = 775$.
Dividing by $5$: $3x + 7y = 155$ (Equation $2$).
From Equation $1$,$x = 29 - y$. Substituting into Equation $2$: $3(29 - y) + 7y = 155 \implies 87 - 3y + 7y = 155 \implies 4y = 68 \implies y = 17$.
Then $x = 29 - 17 = 12$.
Thus,$x = 12$ and $y = 17$.

B
$x=1, y=2$
C
$x=3, y=0$
D
$x=0, y=3$

Solution

(A) Given total frequency $N = 20$.
Sum of frequencies: $3 + x + 7 + 7 + y = 20 \implies x + y + 17 = 20 \implies x + y = 3$ (Equation $1$).
The class marks $(x_i)$ are $35, 45, 55, 65, 75$.
The sum of $f_i x_i = (3 \times 35) + (x \times 45) + (7 \times 55) + (7 \times 65) + (y \times 75) = 105 + 45x + 385 + 455 + 75y = 945 + 45x + 75y$.
Mean $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} = 55.5$.
$\frac{945 + 45x + 75y}{20} = 55.5 \implies 945 + 45x + 75y = 1110 \implies 45x + 75y = 165$.
Dividing by $15$: $3x + 5y = 11$ (Equation $2$).
From Equation $1$,$x = 3 - y$. Substituting into Equation $2$: $3(3 - y) + 5y = 11 \implies 9 - 3y + 5y = 11 \implies 2y = 2 \implies y = 1$.
Then $x = 3 - 1 = 2$.
Thus,$x = 2$ and $y = 1$.

C

Solution

(A) To find the mean,we use the formula $\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$.
First,calculate the class marks $(x_i)$ for each interval: $2, 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34$.
Next,calculate $f_i x_i$ for each class:
$6 \times 2 = 12$
$8 \times 6 = 48$
$17 \times 10 = 170$
$23 \times 14 = 322$
$16 \times 18 = 288$
$15 \times 22 = 330$
$f \times 26 = 26f$
$4 \times 30 = 120$
$3 \times 34 = 102$
Sum of frequencies $\sum f_i = 6+8+17+23+16+15+f+4+3 = 92+f$.
Sum of $f_i x_i = 12+48+170+322+288+330+26f+120+102 = 1392+26f$.
Given mean $\bar{x} = 16$,so $16 = \frac{1392+26f}{92+f}$.
$16(92+f) = 1392+26f$
$1472 + 16f = 1392 + 26f$
$1472 - 1392 = 26f - 16f$
$80 = 10f$
$f = 8$.

Solution

(C) The mode is given as $37$. Since $37$ lies in the class interval $30-40$,the modal class is $30-40$.
The formula for mode is: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
Here,$l = 30$ (lower limit of modal class),$h = 10$ (class size),$f_1 = 18$ (frequency of modal class),$f_0 = x$ (frequency of preceding class),and $f_2 = 15$ (frequency of succeeding class).
Substituting the values: $37 = 30 + \left( \frac{18 - x}{2(18) - x - 15} \right) \times 10$
$37 - 30 = \left( \frac{18 - x}{36 - 15 - x} \right) \times 10$
$7 = \left( \frac{18 - x}{21 - x} \right) \times 10$
$7(21 - x) = 10(18 - x)$
$147 - 7x = 180 - 10x$
$10x - 7x = 180 - 147$
$3x = 33$

Solution

(A) Given total frequency $N = 150$.
Sum of frequencies: $6 + 8 + 17 + x + 42 + 30 + y + 8 = 150$
$111 + x + y = 150 \implies x + y = 39$ --- $(1)$
Since the mode is $46$,the modal class is $40-50$.
Here,$l = 40, f_1 = 42, f_0 = x, f_2 = 30, h = 10$.
Mode formula: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h$
$46 = 40 + \left( \frac{42 - x}{2(42) - x - 30} \right) \times 10$
$6 = \left( \frac{42 - x}{84 - 30 - x} \right) \times 10$
$6 = \frac{10(42 - x)}{54 - x} \implies 3(54 - x) = 5(42 - x)$
$162 - 3x = 210 - 5x$
$2x = 48 \implies x = 24$
Substituting $x = 24$ in $(1)$: $24 + y = 39 \implies y = 15$.

Solution

(X=43, Y=18) Given total frequency $N = 200.$
Sum of frequencies: $8 + 12 + 27 + x + 55 + 37 + y = 200 \implies 139 + x + y = 200 \implies x + y = 61$ (Equation $1$).
Since the mode is $64,$ the modal class is $60-70.$
Formula for mode: $\text{Mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) \times h.$
Here,$l = 60, f_1 = 55, f_0 = x, f_2 = 37, h = 10.$
$64 = 60 + \left( \frac{55 - x}{2(55) - x - 37} \right) \times 10.$
$4 = \left( \frac{55 - x}{110 - x - 37} \right) \times 10 \implies 4 = \frac{550 - 10x}{73 - x}.$
$292 - 4x = 550 - 10x \implies 6x = 258 \implies x = 43.$
Substituting $x = 43$ in Equation $1$: $43 + y = 61 \implies y = 18.$
Thus,$x = 43$ and $y = 18.$

Frequency $5$ $x$ $20$ $y$ $2$

Solution

(A) Given total frequency $N = 60$.
Sum of frequencies: $5 + x + 20 + y + 2 = 60 \implies x + y + 27 = 60 \implies x + y = 33$ (Equation $1$).
Since the median is $50$,the median class is $40-60$. Here,$l = 40$,$h = 20$,$f = 20$,$cf = 5 + x$,and $N/2 = 30$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$.
$50 = 40 + \left( \frac{30 - (5 + x)}{20} \right) \times 20$.
$50 = 40 + (25 - x)$.
$50 = 65 - x \implies x = 15$.
Substituting $x = 15$ in Equation $1$: $15 + y = 33 \implies y = 18$.
Thus,$x = 15$ and $y = 18$.

Solution

(A) Given total frequency $N = 100$,so $2 + 6 + 8 + x + 20 + 18 + y + 14 = 100$.
$68 + x + y = 100 \implies x + y = 32$ (Equation $1$).
Since the median is $49$,the median class is $40-50$. Here $l = 40$,$f = 20$,$cf = 2 + 6 + 8 + x = 16 + x$,and $h = 10$.
Using the median formula: $\text{Median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$.
$49 = 40 + \left( \frac{50 - (16 + x)}{20} \right) \times 10$.
$9 = \frac{34 - x}{2} \implies 18 = 34 - x \implies x = 16$.
Substituting $x = 16$ in Equation $1$: $16 + y = 32 \implies y = 16$.
Thus,$x = 16$ and $y = 16$.

In the formula $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times c$ for the mode,$f_{1} = \ldots \ldots \ldots$
A
frequency of the class preceding the modal class
B
class length
C
frequency of the modal class
D
frequency of the class succeeding the modal class

Solution

(C) In the formula for the mode of grouped data,$Z = l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times c$,the term $f_{1}$ represents the frequency of the modal class. Here,$l$ is the lower limit of the modal class,$f_{0}$ is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class,$f_{2}$ is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class,and $c$ is the class size (or class length).

In the formula $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times c$ for the mode,$f_{2} = \ldots \ldots \ldots$
A
frequency of the modal class
B
lower limit of the modal class
C
frequency of the class preceding the modal class
D
frequency of the class succeeding the modal class

Solution

(D) In the formula for calculating the mode of grouped data,the variables are defined as follows:
$Z$ is the mode.
$l$ is the lower limit of the modal class.
$f_{1}$ is the frequency of the modal class.
$f_{0}$ is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class.
$f_{2}$ is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
$c$ is the size of the class interval.
Therefore,$f_{2}$ represents the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.

In the formula $Z = l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times c$ for the mode,$c = \dots$
A
class length
B
frequency of the modal class
C
frequency of the class preceding the modal class
D
frequency of the class succeeding the modal class

Solution

(A) In the formula for the mode of grouped data,$Z = l + \left( \frac{f_{1} - f_{0}}{2f_{1} - f_{0} - f_{2}} \right) \times c$,the term $c$ represents the class size or class length of the modal class. The other terms are defined as follows: $l$ is the lower limit of the modal class,$f_{1}$ is the frequency of the modal class,$f_{0}$ is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class,and $f_{2}$ is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
