Here, class width, h = 20 - 10- = 10. Nw, let the assumed
Mean, a = 35.
Then, table for the given data is
| Class | xi | fi | \(u_{ i }=\frac { x_{ i }-a }{ h } \) | fiui |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10-20 | \(\frac { 10+20 }{ 2 } =15\) | 4 | \(\frac { 15-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { -20 }{ 10 } =-2\) | -8 |
| 20-30 | \(\frac { 20+30 }{ 2 } =25\) | 28 | \(\frac { 25-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { -10 }{ 10 } =-1\) | -28 |
| 30-40 | \(\frac { 30+40 }{ 2 } =35=a\) | 15 | \(\frac { 35-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { 0 }{ 10 } =0\) | 0 |
| 40-50 | \(\frac { 40+50 }{ 2 } =45\) | 20 | \(\frac { 45-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { 10 }{ 10 } =1\) | 20 |
| 50-60 | \(\frac { 50+60 }{ 2 } =55\) | 17 | \(\frac { 55-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { 20 }{ 10 } =2\) | 34 |
| 60-70 | \(\frac { 60+70 }{ 2 } =65\) | 16 | \(\frac { 65-35 }{ 10 } =\frac { 30 }{ 10 } =3\) | 48 |
| Total | \(\sum { f_{ i } } =100\) | \(\sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } =66\) |
Now, we have,
\(\sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } =66\), \(\sum { f_{ i } } =100\), a=35 and h=10
Mean \((\overline { x } )=a+\left( \frac { \sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } }{ \sum { f_{ i } } } \right) \times h\)
\(=35+\frac { 66 }{ 100 } \times 10\)
\(=35+\frac { 66 }{ 100 } \)
\(=35+6.6=41.6\)
2.
Let the assumed mean, a=55 and width of class interval, h=10.Table for given data is
| Marks | Class marks (xi) | Number of students (fi) | \(u_{ i }=\frac { x_{ i }-a }{ h } \) | fiui |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0-10 | 5 | 1 | -5 | -5 |
| 10-20 | 15 | 3 | -4 | -12 |
| 20-30 | 25 | 7 | -3 | -21 |
| 30-40 | 35 | 10 | -2 | -20 |
| 40-50 | 45 | 15 | -1 | -15 |
| 50-60 | 55=a | x | 0 | 0 |
| 60-70 | 65 | 9 | 1 | 9 |
| 70-80 | 75 | 27 | 2 | 54 |
| 80-90 | 85 | 18 | 3 | 54 |
| 90-100 | 95 | y | 4 | 4y |
| Total | \(N=\sum { f_{ i } } =90+x+y\) | \(\sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } =44+4y\) |
Now, we have, N=90+x+y
\(\Rightarrow \quad 120=90+x+y\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad x+y=30\)
\(\because \quad Mean=59\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad a+\left( \frac { \sum { f_{ i }u_{ i } } }{ N } \right) \times h=59\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 55+\left( \frac { 44+4y }{ 120 } \right) \times 10=59\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { 11+y }{ 3 } =4\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 11+y=12\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad y=1\)
On putting the value of y in Eq.(i), we get
x + 1 = 30⇒ x = 29
Hence, x = 29 and y = 1.
3.
Here, given mode, is 54, which lies between 45-60. Therefore, the modal class is 45-60.
l=45, f1=16, f0=f, f2=12 and h=15
Mode \(=l+\left( \frac { f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 } }{ 2f_{ 1 }-f_{ 0 }-f_{ 2 } } \right) \times h\)
\(54-45+\frac { 16-f }{ 32-f-12 } \times 15\Rightarrow 9=\frac { 16-f }{ 20-f } \times 15\\ \Rightarrow \quad 9(20-f)=15(16-f)\\ \Rightarrow \quad 180-9f=240-15f\\ \Rightarrow \quad 6f=240-180=60\Rightarrow f=10\)
Hence, required value of f is 10.

First ten prime numbers in ascending order are 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 and 29.
Here, n=10 [even]
∴ Median
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times Value\quad of\quad \left[ \left( \frac { n }{ 2 } \right) th+\left( \frac { n }{ 2 } +1 \right) th \right] observation\\ =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \times Value\quad of\quad \left[ \left( \frac { 10 }{ 2 } \right) th+\left( \frac { 10 }{ 2 } +1 \right) th \right] observation\)
\(\)\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \) [Value of 5th observation+Value of 6th ob
servation]
\(=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } [11+13]\)
\(=\frac { 24 }{ 2 }=2\)

5.
Given, median=137 units and mean=137.05 units
We know that,
Mode=3(Median-2(Mean)
=3(137)-2(137.05)
=411-274.10=136.90
Hence, the value of mode is 136.90 units.

Let frequency of class 20-30 be f1 and that of class 40-50 be f2.
Since, the sum of all frequency is 170.
The cumulative frequency table for given distribution is
| Class interval | Frequency | Cumulative frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 0-10 | 10 | 10 |
| 10-20 | 20 | 30 |
| 20-30 | f1 | 30+f1 |
| 30-40 | 40 | 70+f1 |
| 40-50 | f2 | 70+f1+f2 |
| 50-60 | 25 | 95+f1+f2 |
| 60-70 | 15 | 110+f1+f2 |
Here, median=35
So, the median is 30-40. Also, n=170\(\Rightarrow \quad \frac { n }{ 2 } =85\)
∴ l=30, f=40, c.f=30+f1 and h=10
Now median \(=l+\left\{ \frac { \frac { n }{ 2 } -cf }{ f } \right\} \times h\)
\(\Rightarrow \quad 35=30+\left\{ \frac { 85-(30+f_{ 1 }) }{ 40 } \right\} \times 10\\ \Rightarrow \quad 35\times 4=120+(55-f_{ 1 })\\ \Rightarrow \quad 140=175-f_{ 1 }\Rightarrow f_{ 1 }=35\)
Also, 110+f1+f2=170 [∵ sum of all frequencies=170, given]
\(\Rightarrow \quad f_{ 1 }+f_{ 2 }=60\\ \Rightarrow \quad 35+f_{ 2 }=60\\ \therefore \quad f_{ 2 }=60-35=25\)
Hence, the missing frequency of the class 20-30 is 35 and the class 40-50 is 25.
