Given, sum of frequencies = 100
= 2 + 5 + f1 + 12 + 17 + 20 + f2 + 9 + 7 + 4 = 100
= 2 + 5 + 9 + 12 + 17 + 20 + f2 + 9 + 7 + 4 = 100
=85 + f2 = 100
f2 = 15
Therefore, f1 = 9 and f2 = 15
If the median of the following data is 32.5, find the missing frequencies.
Given, Median = 32.5
Then median class = 30-40
l = 30, h = 10, f = 12, F = 14 + f1
Median = l +
32.5 = 30 + * 10
2.5 = * 5
15 = (6 – f1) 5
3 = 6 – f1
f1 = 3
Given, sum of frequencies = 40
= 3 + 5 + 9 + 12 + f2 + 3 + 2 = 40
= 34 + f2 = 40
= f2 = 6
Therefore, f1 = 3 and f2 = 6
Compute the median for each of the following data
(i)
We have, N = 100
= = 50

l = 70, f = 22, F = 43, h = 20
Median = l + × h
= 70 + × 20
= 70 +
= 70 + 6.36 = 76.36
(ii)
We have, N = 150
= = 7
The cumulative frequency is just more than is 90 then, the Median Class is 110-120 such that:
l = 110, f = 45, F = 45, h = 10
Median = l + × h
= 110 + × 10
= 110 +
= 110 + 6.67
= 116.67
A survey regarding the height (in cm) of 51 girls of class X of a school was conducted and the following data was obtained:
Find the median height.
To calculate the median height we need to find the class interval and their corresponding frequencies.
The given distribution being of the less than type 140, 145, 150,….165 give the upper limit of the corresponding class intervals. So, the classes should be below 140, 140-145, 145-150,….160-165. Observe that from the given distribution, we find that there are 4 girls with height less than 145 and 4 girls with height less than 140. Therefore, the number of girls with height in the interval 140-145 is 11 – 4 = 7
Similarly, the frequency of 145-150 is 29 – 11 = 19, for 150-155 it is 40 – 29 = 11 and so on so our frequency distribution table with the given cumulative frequency becomes:
Now N = 51
So, = = 25.5
This observation lies in the class 145 – 150
Then, l (lower limit) = 145
f = 11 and h = 5
Median = 145 + * 5
= 145 + 4.03
= 149.03
So, the median height of the girls is 149.03 cm. This means that the height of the about 50% of the girls is less than this height and 50% are taller than this height.
A life insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of 100 policy holders. Calculate the median age, if policies are only given to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years.
: Here class width is not same. There is no need to adjust the frequencies according to class intervals. Now given frequency table is of less than type represented with upper class limits. As policies were given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 years we can define class intervals with their respective cumulative frequencies as below:
Now from the table we may observe that N = 100
Cumulative frequency just greater than (N = 50) is 78belonging to interval 35-40.
So, Median Class = 35 – 40
Lower limit (l) = 35
Class size (h) = 5
Frequency (f) = 33 and F = 45
Median = l + * h
= 35 + () * 5
= 35 + * 5
= 35 + 0.76
= 35.76
So, Median age is 35.76 years.

Median class = 144.5-153.5
l = 144.5, h = 9, f = 12 and F = 17
Median = l + * h
= 144.5 + ( * 9
= 144.5 +
= 146.75
So, median length is 146.75 mm.

Median = l + * h
= 3000 +
= 3406.98 hours
So, median life time is 3406.98 hours.

Median = l + * h
= 55 + () * 5
= 55 +
= 56.666
So, median weight is 56.67 kg.

C. Ogive
D. Frequency curve
The following steps must be followed to find the mode graphically.
1. Represent the given data in the form of a Histogram. The frequency determines the height of each bar. Identify the highest rectangle. This corresponds to the modal class of the series.
2. Join the top corners of the modal bar with the immediately next corners of the adjacent bars. The two lines must be cutting each other.
3. Let the point where the joining lines cut each other be 'A'. Draw a perpendicular line from point A onto the x-axis. The point 'P' where the perpendicular will meet the x-axis will give the mode.
Write the modal class for the following frequency distribution:
As class of maximum frequency is called modal class.
Modal class in above case is 20-25 as 75 is maximum frequency.
A student draws a cumulative frequency curve for the marks obtained by 40 students of a class as shown below. Find the median marks obtained by the students of the class.
We know that, For finding median from a less than ogive or more than ogive curve, we follow below steps.
1. we find the sum of all frequencies or the last cumulative frequency in our given data, let that be N
2. Then we calculate and locate the point corresponding to on the curve.
3. The X coordinate of the point located i.e. the class corresponding to cumulative frequency is the median of data.
From the graph, we locate last cumulative frequency as 40 i.e. sum of all the frequencies is 40.
i.e. N = 40 and
Median is the marks corresponding to student.
In order to find the median, we first locate the point corresponding to 20th student on Y axis.
And from graph, that point is (50, 20)
So, marks corresponding to 20th student is 50.
So, the median of above data is 50

Using this in equation [2] and using equation [1] we have
Write the median class for the following frequency distribution:
First, we prepare the cumulative frequency table for above data
We know that median class of a data is the class-interval corresponding to cumulative frequency just greater than
Where,
N = sum of all frequencies
As N = 100 therefore
And
Cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 60 which lies corresponding to class 40-50
Hence, 40-50 is median class.
One of the methods of determining mode is
A. Mode = 2 Median − 3 Mean
B. Mode = 2 Median + 3 Mean
C. Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean
D. Mode = 3 Median + 2 Mean
We know that empirical relation between mean, median and mode is
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
In the graphical representation of a frequency distribution, if the distance between mode and mean is k times the distance between median and mean, then write the value of k.
Distance between mode and mean = mode - mean
Distance between median and mean = median - mean
Given that,
(mode - mean) = k(median - mean)
⇒ mode - mean = k median - k mean
⇒ mode = k median - k mean + mean
⇒ mode = k median - (k-1) mean
Comparing it with empirical relation, i.e.
mode = 3 Median - 2 mode
We get,
k = 3

In this case,
So we have
⇒ 31.2 + 2.6y = 28 + 3y
⇒ 3.2 = 0.4y
⇒ y = 8
Find the class marks of classes 10-25 and 35-55
We know, class marks of a class interval is

Upper limit = 25
Class mark
For 35-55
Lower limit = 35
Upper limit = 55

The relationship between mean, median and mode for a moderately skewed distribution is
A. Mode = 2 Median − 3 Mean

We know that empirical relation between mean, median and mode is
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
Write the median class of the following distribution:
First, we prepare the cumulative frequency table for above data
We know that median class of a data is the class-interval corresponding to cumulative frequency just greater than
Where,
N = sum of all frequencies
As N = 25 therefore
And
Cumulative frequency just greater than 25 is 26 which lies corresponding to class 30-40
Hence, 30-40 is median class.

and Number of observations = f1 + f2 + … + fn
So, mean() of observations is given by
Or,
In summation form, it can be shorted to
Which also can also be written as,
And it is understood i varies from 1 to n.

D. 48
As we know, mode of any data is the observation which occurs most.
In this case, 48 occurs two times and 43 is the mode of data
Therefore, 43 should occur more than two times.
And this is possible if and only if
x = 43
⇒ x + 3 = 43 + 3 = 46
Hence, correct option is (C).

To find: The value of x.
Solution: As we know, mode of any data is the observation which occurs most.
In this case, 17 occurs two times which implies 17 is the mode.
But it is given that 15 is the mode of data.
In order for 15 to be mode it has to occur more than 2 times.
As 15 is already occurring 2 times, the possibility of it occurring more than 2 times is that x should be 15.
⇒ x = 15
Hence, correct option is (B).

Using [1]
⇒ 21 = 17 + p
⇒ p = 4 …[3]
Hence, series is 3, 2, 2, 4, 3, 3, 4
For median, let us write our data in increasing order
2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4,
Also, as the no of terms in this data is odd
We know that if there are odd number of terms in a data, then the median of data is term. Where n is no of terms
n = 7
median = 4th term = 3
⇒ q = 3 …[4]
From [3] and [4]
p + q = 4 + 3 = 7

i.e. median of above data is mean of 4th and 5th term
In this case,
4th term = 36

If 35 is removed, the series will be
