While education equips individuals with a broad knowledge base, vocational training focuses on job-specific skills, enhancing employability thus making the student self-reliant. Keeping this in view, a teacher made the following table giving the frequency distribution of students/adults undergoing vocational training from the training institute.

| Age (in years) | 15-19 | 20-24 | 25-29 | 30-34 | 35-39 | 40-44 | 45-49 | 50-54 |
| Number of participants | 62 | 132 | 96 | 37 | 13 | 11 | 10 | 4 |
From the above, answer the following questions.
(a) What is the lower limit of the modal class of the above data?
(b) (i) Find the median class of the above data.
Or
(ii) Find the number of participants of age less than 50 yr who undergo vocational training.
(c) Give the empirical relationship between mean, median and mode.
Case Study Questions
1.
(i) (b): Since, the highest frequency is 70, therefore the maximum number of children are of the age-group 10-12.
(ii) (a): Since, the modal class is 10-12
\(\therefore\) Lower limit of modal class = 10
(iii) (c) : Here,f0 = 58,f1 = 70 and f2 = 42
Thus, the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class is 42.
(iv) (d): Mode \(=l+\left[\frac{f_{1}-f_{0}}{2 f_{1}-f_{0}-f_{2}}\right] \times h\)
\(=10+\left[\frac{70-58}{140-58-42}\right] \times 2\)
\(=10+\frac{12}{40} \times 2=10+\frac{24}{40}=10.6 \text { years }\)
(v) (c): Given that, Mean = Mode
\(\therefore\) By Empirical relation, we have
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
\(\Rightarrow\) Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mode
\(\Rightarrow\) 3 Mode = 3 Median
\(\Rightarrow\) Median = Mode = Mean
2.
(i) (c): Class mark of class 25 - 29
\(=\frac{25+29}{2}=\frac{54}{2}=27\)
(ii) (d): Let us consider the following table:
| Class | Class mark (xi) | Frequency (fi) | = xi fi |
| 15-19 | 17 | 10 | 170 |
| 20-24 | 22 | 15 | 330 |
| 25-29 | 27 | 12 | 324 |
| 30-34 | 32 | 8 | 256 |
| 34-39 | 37 | 5 | 185 |
| Total | \(\Sigma f_{i}=50\) | \(\sum x_{i} f_{i}=1265\) |
\(\therefore \quad \operatorname{Mean}(\bar{x})=\frac{\sum x_{i} f_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=\frac{1265}{50}=25.3\)
Thus, the mean time to complete the work for a worker
= 25.3 hrs = 3 days
(iii) (d)
(iv) (a)
(v) (d): We know the measure of central tendency are mean, median and mode.
3.
Let us consider the following table:
| Class | Class marks (xi) | di=xi-A | Frequency (fi) | fi di |
| 30-40 | 35 | -20 | 80 | -1600 |
| 40-50 | 34 | -10 | 110 | -1100 |
| 50-60 | 55 = A | 0 | 120 | 0 |
| 60-70 | 65 | 10 | 70 | 700 |
| 70-80 | 75 | 20 | 40 | 800 |
| Total | \(\Sigma f_{i}=420\) | \(\sum f_{i} d_{i}=1200\) |
(i) (d): Clearly, the possible values of assumed mean (A) are 35, 45, 55, 65, 75.
(ii) (c): The values of |di| are 0, 10,20
Thus, the minimum value of |di| is 0.
(iii) (b): Required Mean \(=A+\frac{\sum f_{i} d_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=55-\frac{1200}{420}\)
= Rs 52.14.
(iv) (a): Mean by direct and assumed mean method are always equal.
(v) (d): Average toll tax received by a vehicle = Rs 52.14 Total number of vehicles = 420
\(\therefore\) Average toll tax received in a day = Rs (52.14 x 420) = Rs 21898.80
4.
(i) (b): The upper limit of a class and the lower class of its succeeding class differ by 1.
(ii) (d) : Here, class intervals are in inclusive form. So, we first convert them in exclusive form. The frequency distribution table in exclusive form is as follows:
| Class interval | Frequency (fi) | Cumulative frequency (c.f) |
| 199.5-209.5 | 4 | 4 |
| 209.5-219.5 | 14 | 18 |
| 219.5-229.5 | 26 | 44 |
| 229.5-239.5 | 10 | 54 |
| 239.5-249.5 | 6 | 60 |
\(\text { Here, } \Sigma f_{i} \text { i.e., } N=60 \)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{N}{2}=30\)
Now, the class interval whose cumulative frequency is
just greater than 30 is 219.5 - 229.5.
\(\therefore\) Median class is 219.5 - 229.5.
(iii) (b): Clearly, the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class is 18
(iv) (d): Median \(=l+\left[\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c . f .}{f}\right] \times h\)
\(=219.5+\left(\frac{30-18}{26}\right) \times 10 \)
\(=219.5+\frac{12 \times 10}{26}=219.5+4.62=224.12\)
\(\therefore\) Median of the distance travelled is 224.12 km
(v) (d): We know, Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
\(\therefore \quad \text { Mean }=\frac{1}{2}(3 \text { Median }-\text { Mode }) \)
\(=\frac{1}{2}(672.36-223.78)=224.29 \mathrm{~km}\)
5.
(i) (b): The age of any person is a positive number, so the first class must be 0 - 10.
(ii) (c):
Let us consider the following table:
| Age (in years) | Class interval (xi) | Frequencies (fi) | Cumulative frequency (c.f) |
| Less than 10 | 0-10 | 3 | 3 |
| Less than 20 | 10-20 | 10-3=7 | 10 |
| Less than 30 | 20-30 | 22-10-12 | 22 |
| Less than 40 | 30-40 | 40-22-18 | 40 |
| Less than 50 | 40-50 | 54-40=14 | 54 |
| Less than 60 | 50-60 | 71-54=17 | 71 |
Here, N = 71, therefore \(\frac{N}{2}=35.5\)
Now, the class interval whose cumulative frequency is
just greater than 35.5 is 30-40.
\(\therefore\) Median class = 30-40
(iii) (a): Clearly, the cumulative frequency of the class
preceding the median class is 22.
(iv) (d): Median \(=l+\left(\frac{\frac{N}{2}-\varsigma . f .}{f}\right) \times h\)
\(=30+\left(\frac{35.5-22}{18}\right) \times 10=30+13.5 \times \frac{10}{18}=30+7.5=37.5\)
Thus, the median age of the persons visited the
museum is 37.5 years
(v) (c): Number of persons, whose age lying in 30-40 = 18
\(\therefore\) Total amount spent by people of this group
= Rs (30 x 18) = Rs 540
6.
Given frequency distribution table can be drawn as:
| Class interval | Class mark | Frequency (fi) | xi fi | c.f |
| 100-120 | 110 | 7 | 770 | 7 |
| 120-140 | 130 | 12 | 1560 | 19 |
| 140-160 | 150 | 18 | 2700 | 37 |
| 160-180 | 170 | 13 | 2210 | 50 |
| Total | 50 | 7240 |
(i) (d): Clearly, average mileage
\(=\frac{7240}{50}=144.8 \mathrm{~km} / \text { charge }\)
(ii) (b) : Since, highest frequency is IS, therefore,
modal class is 140-160.
Here, l = 140,f1 = 18,f0 = 12,f2 = 13, h = 20
\(\therefore \quad \text { Mode }=140+\frac{18-12}{36-12-13} \times 20=140+\frac{6}{11} \times 20 \)
\(=140+\frac{120}{11}=140+10.91=150.91\)
(iii) (b) : Here \(\frac{N}{2}=\frac{50}{2}=25\) and the corresponding class whose cumulative frequency is just greater than
25 is 140-160.
Here, l = 140, c.f = 19, h = 20 and f= 18
\(\therefore \quad \text { Median }=l+\left(\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c . f .}{f}\right) \times h\)
\(=140+\frac{25-19}{18} \times 20=140+\frac{60}{9}=146.67\)
(iv) (a) : Assumed mean method is useful in determining the mean.
(v) (a): Since, Mean = 144.S, Mode = 150.91 and Median = 146.67 and minimum of which is 144 approx, therefore manufacturer can claim the mileage for his scooter 144 km/charge.
7.
(i) (d): Required number of persons = 9 + 6 = 15
(ii) (c): Required number of persons = 6 + 8 + 2 = 16
(iii) (a) : 50-60 is the modal class as the maximum frequency is 9.
(iv) (b) : The cumulative frequency distribution table for the given data can be drawn as :
| Salaries received (in percent) | Number of employees (fi) | Cumulative frequency c.f |
| 50-60 | 9 | 9 |
| 60-70 | 6 | 9 + 6 = 15 |
| 70-80 | 8 | 15 + 8 = 23 |
| 80-90 | 2 | 23 + 2 = 25 |
| Total | \(\sum f_{i}=25\) |
\(\text { Here, } \frac{N}{2}=\frac{25}{2}=12.5\)
The cumulative frequency just greater than 12.5 lies in the interval 60-70.
Hence, the median class is 60-70.
(v) (a): We know, Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
\(\therefore\) 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean.
8.
(i) (d): We know that,
\(\text { Class mark }=\frac{\text { Lower limit }+\text { Upper limit }}{2} \)
\(\Rightarrow m=\frac{\text { Lower limit }+b}{2} \Rightarrow \text { Lower limit }=2 m-b\)
(ii) (a):
| Lifetime (in hours) | Class mark (xi) | fi | di=xi-A | fi di |
| 150 -200 | 175 | 14 | -150 | -2100 |
| 200 -250 | 225 | 56 | -100 | -5600 |
| 250 -300 | 275 | 60 | -50 | -3000 |
| 300 -350 | 325 = A | 86 | 0 | 0 |
| 350 -400 | 375 | 74 | 50 | 3700 |
| 400 -450 | 425 | 62 | 100 | 6200 |
| 450 -500 | 475 | 48 | 150 | 7200 |
| Total | 400 | 6400 |
\(\begin{aligned}
&\therefore \quad \text { Average lifetime of a packet }\\
&=A+\frac{\sum f_{i} d_{i}}{\sum f_{i}}=325+\frac{6400}{400}=341 \mathrm{hrs}
\end{aligned}\)
(iii) (b) : \(\text { Here, } N=400 \Rightarrow \frac{N}{2}=200\)
Also, cumulative frequency for the given distribution are 14, 70, 130,216,290,352,400
\(\therefore\) c.f just greater than 200 is 216, which is
corresponding to the interval 300-350.
l= 300, f=86, c.f = 130, h = 50
\(\therefore \quad \text { Median }=l+\left(\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c . f .}{f}\right) \times h=300+\left(\frac{200-130}{86}\right) \times 50\)
= 300 + 40.697 = 340.697 ""340 hrs (approx.)
(iv) (a) : We know that Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
= 3(340.697) -2(341)
= 1022.091 - 682 = 340.091 ""340 hrs
(v) (c): Since, minimum of mean, median and mode is approximately 340 hrs. So, manufacturer should claim that lifetime of a packet is 340 hrs.
9.
(i) (a): If fi and xi are very small, then direct method is appropriate method for calculating mean.
(ii) (a) : The frequency distribution table from the given data can be drawn as :
| Class | Class mark (xi) | Frequency fi | fi xi |
| 3-5 | 4 | 5 | 20 |
| 5-7 | 6 | 10 | 60 |
| 7-9 | 8 | 10 | 80 |
| 9-11 | 10 | 7 | 70 |
| 11-13 | 12 | 8 | 96 |
| Total | 40 | 326 |
\(\therefore \quad \text { Mean }=\frac{\Sigma f_{i} x_{i}}{\Sigma f_{i}}=\frac{326}{40}=8.15 \text { litres }\)
(iii) (b) : If 2000 vehicles comes daily and average quantity of diesel required for a vehicle is 8.15 litres, then total quantity of diesel required = 2000 x 8.15
= 16300 litres
(iv) (c) : Here \(N=40 \text { and } \frac{N}{2}=20\) c.f for the distribution are 5, 15,25,32,40
Now, c.f just greater than 20 is 25 which is corresponding to the class interval 7-9.
So median class is 7-9.
\(\therefore\) Required sum of upper limit and lower limit
= 7 + 9 = 16
(v) (b): We know, Mode = 3 Median -2 Mean
= 3(8) - 2(8.15) = 24 - 16.3 = 7.7
10.
(i) (a): \(n=51 . \mathrm{So}, \frac{n}{2}=\frac{51}{2}=25.5 .\)
This observation lies in the class 145 - 150
= 145
(ii) (b): 150
(iii) (a): 145
(iv) (c): 5
(v) (a): l ( lower limit) = 145, cf = 11, f = 18, h = 5.
\(\text { Median }=l+\left(\frac{\frac{n}{2}-\mathrm{cf}}{f}\right) \times h\)
\(\text { Median }=145+\left(\frac{25.5-11}{18}\right) \times 5=145+\frac{72.5}{18}\)
= 149.03 cm
11.
(i) (a):
| Monthly consumption (in units) | No.of consumers (fi) | cumulative frequency |
| 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 |
| Total | \(\Sigma f_{i}=n=68\) |
Here, \(\Sigma f_{i}=n=68 \text { then } \frac{n}{2}=\frac{68}{2}=34\) which lies in interval 125 - 145
= 125
(ii) (a): 125
(iii) (b): 145
(iv) (c): 20
(v) (a): Median class = 125 - 145
So, l = 125; n = 68; f = 20; cf = 22 and h = 20
Using formula, Median \(=l+\left[\frac{\frac{n}{2}-c f}{f}\right] \times h\)
\(=125+\left\{\frac{\frac{68}{2}-22}{20}\right\} \times 20\)
\(=125+\frac{34-22}{20} \times 20=125+12\)
= 137
12.
(i) (c):
| Time in (sec) | x | f | cf | fx |
| 0-20 | 10 | 8 | 8 | 80 |
| 20-40 | 30 | 10 | 18 | 300 |
| 40-60 | 50 | 13 | 31 | 650 |
| 60-80 | 70 | 6 | 37 | 420 |
| 80-100 | 90 | 3 | 40 | 270 |
| Total | 40 | 1720 |
\(\text { Mean }=\frac{1720}{40}\)
= 43
(ii) (c): 60
(iii) (b): Median
(iv) (c): Median class 40 - 60, Modal class = 40 - 60
Sum of lower limits of median class and modal class = 40 + 40 = 80
(v) (c): Number of students are = 8 + 10 + 13
= 31
13.
(i) (c) From table, we see that maximum frequency is 23.Therefore, modal class is 35-45.
Here, l=35, f1 = 23, f0 = 21, f2 = 14 and h = 10
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Mode } & =l+\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2} \times h \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{23-21}{46-21-14} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{20}{11}=35+1.82=36.82 \end{aligned}\)
(ii) (d) Since, class interval 35-45 has highest frequency i.e. 23, So it is modal class.
\(\therefore\) Upper limit of modal class is 45.
(iii) (d) Calculation of mean
| Class interval | Frequency (f1) | Class marks (xi) | fixi |
| 5-15 | 6 | 10 | 60 |
| 15-25 | 11 | 20 | 220 |
| 25-35 | 21 | 30 | 630 |
| 35-45 | 23 | 40 | 920 |
| 45-55 | 14 | 50 | 700 |
| 55-65 | 5 | 60 | 300 |
| Total | \(\Sigma\)fi = 80 | \(\Sigma f_i x_i=2830\) |
\(\therefore\) \(\text { Mean, } \bar{x}=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}=\frac{2830}{80}=35.375=35.4\)
(iv) (a) Here, maximum frequency is 42 and the class corresponding to this frequency is 35 – 45. So, the modal class is 35-45.
\(\therefore\) l = 35, f1 = 42, f0 = 10, f2 = 24 and h = 10
Now, mode = \(\begin{aligned} & =l+\left(\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2}\right) \times h \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{42-10}{2 \times 42-10-24} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{32}{50} \times 10=35+6.4=41.4 \end{aligned}\)
(v) (b) The cumulative frequency table for given data is
| Age | Number of cases (fi) | Cumulative frequency (cf) |
| 5-15 | 8 | 8 |
| 15-25 | 16 | 24 |
| 25-35 | 10 | 34 |
| 35-45 | 42 | 76 |
| 45-55 | 24 | 100 |
| 55-65 | 12 | 112 |
| Total | N = 112 |
Here, N = 112
\(\therefore \quad \frac{N}{2}=\frac{112}{2}=56\)
Since, the cumulative frequency just greater that 56 is 76 and the corresponding class interval is 35-45.
\(\therefore\) Median class = 35 - 45,
l = 35, cf = 34, h = 10 and f = 42
\(\begin{aligned} \therefore \text { Median } & =l+\frac{\left(\frac{N}{2}-f\right)}{f} \times h=35+\frac{56-34}{42} \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =35+\frac{22}{42} \times 10=35+5.24=40.24 \end{aligned}\)
14.
(i) (c)
| Weekly consumption | Number of families (f1) | Cumulative frequency (cf) |
| 0-10 | 16 | 16 |
| 10-20 | 12 | 28 |
| 20-30 | 18 | 46 |
| 30-40 | 6 | 52 |
| 40-50 | 4 | 56 |
| 50-60 | 0 | 56 |
| Total | N = 56 |
Here, N = 56
\(\therefore \quad \frac{N}{2}=\frac{56}{2}=28\)
\(\because\) Median class = 20-30
\(\therefore\) l = 20, cf = 28, h = 10 and f = 18
Now, median weekly consumption
\(=l+\frac{\left(\frac{N}{2}-c f\right)}{f} \times h=20+\left(\frac{28-28}{18}\right) \times 10\)
= 20 + 0 = 20 units
(ii) (a)
| Class | xi | fi | fixi |
| 0-10 | 5 | 16 | 80 |
| 10-20 | 15 | 12 | 180 |
| 20-30 | 25 | 18 | 450 |
| 30-40 | 35 | 6 | 210 |
| 40-50 | 45 | 4 | 180 |
| 50-60 | 55 | 0 | 0 |
| Total | \(\Sigma f=56\) | \(\Sigma f x=1100\) |
\(\therefore \text { Mean }=\frac{\Sigma f_i x_i}{\Sigma f_i}=\frac{1100}{56}=19.64 \text { units }\)
(iii) (c) Here, maximum frequency is 18 and the class corresponding to this frequency is 20-30.
So, modal class is 20-30.
(iv) (b) Here maximum frequency is 40 and class corresponding to this frequency is 40-50.
So, modal class is 40-50.
| Weekly consumption (in units) | 0-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 |
| Number of families | 0 | 5 | 10 | 20 | 40=f1 | 5 |
\(\therefore\) l = 40, f1 = 40, f0 = 20, f2 = 5 and h= 10
Now, modal weekly consumption
\(\begin{aligned} & =l+\left(\frac{f_1-f_0}{2 f_1-f_0-f_2}\right) \times h \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =40+\left(\frac{40-20}{80-20-5}\right) \times 10 \\ \end{aligned}\)
\(\begin{aligned} & =40+\frac{20}{55} \times 10 \end{aligned}\)
= 40 + 3.6
= 43.6 units
(v) (c)
| Class | xi | fi | fixi |
| 0-10 | 5 | 0 | 0 |
| 10-20 | 15 | 5 | 75 |
| 20-30 | 25 | 10 | 250 |
| 30-40 | 35 | 20 | 700 |
| 40-50 | 45 | 40 | 1800 |
| 50-60 | 55 | 5 | 275 |
| \(\Sigma f_i=80 \) | \(\Sigma f_i x_i=3100\) |
\(\therefore \text { Mean consumption }=\frac{3100}{80}=38.75 \text { units }\)
15.
(a) Modal class is the class interval in a frequency distribution table which has the highest frequency. According to the given data, the highest frequency is 132 and the class interval corresponding to it is 20-24.
Thus, the modal class of the above data is 20-24.
Hence, lower limit of the modal class is 20.
(b) (i) Convert the given data as continuous classes and calculate the cumulative frequency.
| Class interval (Age) | Frequency (f) | Comulative frequency (cf) |
| 14.5 - 19.5 | 62 | 62 |
| 19.5 - 24.5 | 132 | 194 |
| 24.5 - 29.5 | 96 | 290 |
| 29.5 - 34.5 | 37 | 327 |
| 34.5 - 39.5 | 13 | 340 |
| 39.5 - 44.5 | 11 | 351 |
| 44.5 - 49.5 | 10 | 361 |
| 49.5 - 54.5 | 4 | 365 |
Here, N = 365 (odd)
\(\frac{N}{2}=\frac{365}{2}=182.5\)
Cumulative frequency greater than and nearer to 182.5 is 194 which belongs to the class interval 19.5-24.5
\(\therefore\) The median class of the above data is 19.5 - 24.5.
(ii) Number of participants of age less than 50 yr who undergo vocational training
= 62 + 132 + 96 + 37 + 13 + 11 + 10 = 361
Therefore, required number of participants is 361.
(c) The empirical relationship between mean, median and mode is given by
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
