Define statistics as a subject.
Statistics is a science which deals with collection, presentation, analysis and finally interpretation of numerical data.
Define some fundamental characteristics of statistics.
Fundamental characteristics of statistics are:-
i) Data given or collected for a definite purpose can’t be used for another purpose.
ii) Numerical facts always constitute a specific data.
iii) A single observation does not form data. Data should be aggregate of facts.
iv) Qualitative characteristics cannot be measured numerically. Hence, they do not form Data.
What are primary data and secondary data? Which of the two is more reliable and why?
Primary Data: A Data collected by the investigator himself with a definite plan in mind is called primary data.
Secondary Data: A data collected by someone, other than investigator is called secondary data.
Primary data are highly reliable than secondary data because they are collected by investigator himself with a definite plan in mind so they are more relevant. While secondary data are not being fully relevant to the investigation.
Explain the meaning of each of the following terms:
(i) Variate
(ii) Class interval
(iii) Class size
(iv) Class mark
(v) Class limit
(vi) True class limits
(vii) Frequency of a class
(viii) Cumulative frequency of a class
(i) Variate:- Any character which consists of several values is called Variate.
(ii) Class interval:- A Group in which Raw data is condensed is called class-interval.
(iii) Class size:- The difference between true upper limit and true lower limit is termed as class-size.
(iv) Class mark:- it is given as
(v) Class limit:- each class is bounded by two figures which termed as class limits.
(vi) True class limits:- in exclusive form of distribution, true lower limit of a class is obtained by subtracting from lower limit and true upper limit is obtained by adding 0.5 to the upper limit.
(vii) Frequency of a class:- Number of data values that fall in the range specified by that class is called frequency of that class.
(viii) Cumulative frequency of a class:- The cumulative Frequency corresponding to that class is the sum of all frequencies up to and including that class.

A. 9
B. 15.5
C. 10
D. 4.5
The given class interval is in the form of inclusive form.
To find out the class size we need to first find out the true class limits.
Now,
By converting the table in exclusive form;
We get,
Class size = True upper limit – True lower limit
Class size = 20.5 – 10.5 = 10
What is the class mark of class 21-30 in the table of Q.3 ?
A. 4.5
B. 9
C. 25.5

Class marks = 1/2 [30 + 21]
∴ Class marks = 51/ 2 = 25.5
If the mean of five observations x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6 and x + 8 is 11, find the value of x.
Observations are = x, x + 2, x + 4, x + 6, x + 8
No. of observations = 5
Given mean = 11
⇒ 11 =
⇒ x + x + 2 + x + 4 + x + 6 + x + 8 = 11 × 5
⇒ 5x + 20 = 55
⇒ 5x = 55 – 20
x = = 7
So, value of x = 7.

In the given data 23 occurred the maximum number of times,
So, the model mark = 23
The class marks of a frequency distribution are
26, 31, 36, 41, 46, 51
Find the true class limits.
To find true class limit should know the class size;
Class size = 31 – 26 = 5
Mid value = 5/2 = 2.5
When class mark is 26;
Upper class limit = 26 + 2.5 = 28.5
Lower class limit = 26 – 2.5 = 23.5
When class mark is 31;
Upper class limit = 31 + 2.5 = 33.5
Lower class limit = 31 – 2.5 = 28.5
When class mark is 36;
Upper class limit = 36 + 2.5 = 38.5
Lower class limit = 36 – 2.5 = 33.5
When class mark is 41;
Upper class limit = 41 + 2.5 = 43.5
Lower class limit = 41 – 2.5 = 38.5
When class mark is 46;
Upper class limit = 46 + 2.5 = 48.5
Lower class limit = 46 – 2.5 = 43.5
When class mark is 51;
Upper class limit = 51 + 2.5 = 53.5
Lower class limit = 51 – 2.5 = 48.5
So, true class limits are;
23.5 - 28.5, 28.5 - 33.5, 33.5 - 38.5, 38.5 - 43.5, 43.5 - 48.5, 48.5 - 53.5
The mean of the following frequency distribution is 8. Find the value of p.
First draw the table as shown below;
Given mean = 8
8 =
⇒ 8(41 + p) = 303 + 9p
⇒ 328 + 8p = 30 + 9p
⇒ 9p – 8p = 328 – 303
⇒ p = 25
So, the value of p = 25
If 10, 13, 15, 18, x + 1, x + 3, 30, 32, 35, 41 are ten observations in an ascending order with median 24, Find the value of x.
10 observations in ascending order = 10, 13, 15, 18, x + 1, x + 3, 30, 32, 35, 41
n = 10 (even)
Median = 1/2 [value of (n/2)th term + value of (n/2 + 1)th term]
Median = 1/2 [value of 5th term + value of 6th term]
Median = 1/2 [(x + 1) + (x + 3)] = (2x + 4)/2
Given median = 24
⇒
⇒ 2x + 4 = 24 × 2
⇒ 2x + 4 = 48
⇒ 2x = 48 – 4 = 44
⇒ x = 44/2 = 22
Calculate the mode of the following using empirical formula:

Median = 1/2 [value of (n/2)th term + value of (n/2 + 1)th term]
= 1/2 [value of 5th term + value of 6th term]
= 1/2 [12 + 12] = 24/2 = 12
Now,
Mean = (∑fx)/(∑f) = 125/10 = 12.5
Mode = 3(median) – 2(mean)
= 3 × 12 – 2 × 12.5
= 36 – 25 = 11

So,
n1 + n2 + n3 + n4 + n5 + n6 = 23×6 = 136 ……….(i)
Let suppose excluded number be n4
N = 5
Mean of remaining numbers = (given)
n1 + n2 + n3 + n5 + n6 = 20 × 5 = 100 ……….(ii)
Subtract the (ii) equation from (i) equation
We get;
n4 = 138 – 100 = 38
So, the excluded number is 38.

Maximum marks = 100
Minimum marks = 46
Range = 100 – 46 = 54
The class mark of the class 130-150 is
A. 130
B. 135
C. 140
D. 145
Formula to calculate the class mark, = 1/2 [ Upper class limit + lower class limit]
Upper class = 150
Lower class = 130
So, we get,
= 140
The mean of five numbers is 30. If one number is excluded, their mean becomes 28. The excluded number is
A. 28
B. 30
C. 35
D. 38
Given,
The mean of five numbers = 30
Now to calculate the sum of these five numbers we have to multiply the mean by 5,
So, we get,
Sum of five numbers = 5 × 30 = 150
Change in the mean when one number is excluded, it become = 28
Sum of remaining four numbers = 4 × 28 = 112
Now to find out the excluded number we have to subtract the sum of four numbers from the sum of five numbers,
We get,
The excluded number = sum of five numbers - sum of four numbers
= 150 – 112 = 38
The median of the data arranged in ascending order 8, 9, 12, 18, (x + 2), (x + 4), 30, 31, 34, 39 is 24. The value of x is
A. 22
B. 21
C. 20
D. 24
Given data = 8, 9, 12, 18, (x + 2), (x + 4), 30, 31, 34, 39
We have n = 10 (even)
Median = 1/2 [Value of (n/2)th term + (n/2 + 1)th term]
Now, Median = 24 (given)
24 = 1/2 [ Value of 5th term + Value of 6th term]
24 × 2 = (x + 2) + (x + 4)
48 = 2x + 6
48 – 6 = 2x
42 = 2x
So,
x = 42/2 = 21

Let suppose 15 numbers are = n1, n2, …….. , n15
Given mean = 25
25 =
⇒ n1 + n2 + …… + n15 = 25 × 15
⇒ n1 + n2 + …… + n15 = 375 … [equation (i)]
After subtracting 6 from each number the mean = 19
So, we have,
(n1 – 6), (n2 – 6), …….. (n15 – 6)
From equation (i)
⇒ Mean = 25 – 6 = 19
It means assertion (A) is true,
Reason (R) ⇒ by empirical formula which is,
Mode = 3(median) – 2(mean) is true.
But Reason (R) is not correct explanation of assertion (A).

Explanation:
(A) First 10 odd numbers are = 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19
Sum of these numbers = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 100
n = 10
Mean = 100/10 = 10
(B) First 10 even numbers are = 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
Sum of these numbers = 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 16 + 18 + 20 = 110
n = 10
Mean = 110/10 = 11.0
(C) First 10 prime numbers are = 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29
Sum of these numbers = 2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 + 13 + 17 + 19 + 23 + 29 = 129
n = 10
Mean = 129/10 = 12.9
(D) First 10 composite numbers are = 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18
Sum of these numbers = 4 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 10 + 12 + 14 + 15 + 16 + 18 = 112
n = 10
Mean = 112/10 = 11.2
The class marks of a frequency distribution are 47, 52, 57, 62, 67, 72, 77. Determine the (i) class size (ii) class limits with respect to the class mark 52 (iii) true class limits for class mark 52.
Class marks of the given frequency distribution are = 47, 52, 57, 62, 67, 72, 77
(i) Class size = 52 – 47 = 5
(ii) Class size = 5
Mid value = = 2.5
Class marks = 52
Upper class limit = 52 + 2.5 = 54.5
Lower class limit = 52 – 2.5 = 49.5
(iii) Here classes are in the exclusive form,
So true class limit for class mark 52 is 49.5 – 54.5

(A) When n is odd then formula for median is = Value of th term
So, the given statement is true.
(B) When n is even then formula for median become;
Median = 1/2 [value of (n/2)th term + value of (n/2 + 1)th term]
So, the given statement is true.

Now take L.H.S
So, given statement is true.
(B) Given,

⇒
From equation (i) we get,
So, given statement is true.
(C) Mean of x1, x2, …… xn =
Given mean =
Observations are = ax1, ax2, ……..axn
⇒

So, the given statement is true.
(D) Let suppose the observations are =
……….( Given)
Sum = = nM…………..(i)
And
ax1 + ax2 + …………. + axn = aM
Then,
[from equation (i)]
a + M = aM (Which is not true)
Which is false?
A. If the mean of 4, 6, x, 8, 10, 13 is 8, then x = 7.
B. If the median of the following array 59, 62, 65, x , x + 2, 72, 85, 99 is 67, then x = 66.
C. If the mode of 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 2, 7, 5, 9, 3, p, 11 is 5, then the value of p is 7.
D. If the mean of 10 observations is 15 and that of other 15 observations is 18, then the mean of all the 25 observations is 16.8.
(A) Given observations are = 4, 6, x, 8, 10, 13
Mean =
Now, given mean = 8
Sum of the observations = 4 + 6 + x + 8 + 10 + 13 = 8 × 6
⇒ 41 + x = 48
∴ x = 48 – 41 = 7
So, x = 7
The given statement is true.
(B) Given array = 59, 62, 65, x, x + 2, 72, 85, 99
n = 8 (even)
Median = 1/2 [value of (n/2)th term + value of (n/2 + 1)th term]
= 1/2 [value of 4th term + value of 5th term]
Median =
Given median = 67
67 = 2x + 2 = 67 × 2
2x + 2 = 134
2x = 134 – 2
X = = 66
So, x = 66
The given statement is true
(C) Given,
Observations are = 1, 3, 5, 7, 5, 2, 7, 5, 9, 3, p, 11
Mode = 5
Value of p = 7
We know that mode is the item which has highest frequency and in given statement 5 is the mode. If p = 7 then it will become the number with highest frequency. It means p can’t be equals to 7 as mode is 5.
So, the given statement is false.
(D) Given;
Mean of 10 observations = 15
Mean of 15 observations = 18
Mean of all 25 observation = 16.8
Now the sum of the observations;
Sum of 10 observations = 10 × 15 = 150
Sum of 15 observation = 15 × 18 = 270
Sum of 25 observation = Sum of 10 observations + Sum of 15 observations
Mean of 25 observations =
⇒ Mean =
⇒ Mean = 420/25
∴Mean = 16.8
So, the given statement is true.
