Chapter 7: Statistics Exercise – 7.3

Question: 1

The following table gives the distribution of total household expenditure (in rupees) of manual workers in a city.

Expenditure (in rupees) (x)Frequency (fi)Expenditure (in rupees) (xi)Frequency (fi)
100 – 150 24300 – 35030
150 – 200 40350 – 40022
200 – 25033400 – 45016
250 – 30028450 – 5007

Find the average expenditure (in rupees) per household

Solution:

Let the assumed mean (A) = 275

Class intervalMid value (xi)di = xi – 275ui = (xi – 275)/50Frequency fifiui

400 – 45042515031648
450 – 5004752004728
    N = 200Sum = -35

We have A = 275, h = 50
Mean = A + h * sum/N
= 275 + 50 * – 35/200
= 275 – 8.75
= 266.25

Question: 2

A survey was conducted by a group of students as a part of their environmental awareness program, in which they collected the following data regarding the number of plants in 200 houses in a locality. Find the mean number of plants per house.

Number of Number of plants:0 – 22 – 44 – 66 – 88 – 1010 – 1212 – 14
Number of houses: 125623

Which method did you use for finding the mean, and why?

Solution:

Let us find class marks (xi­) = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/2. Now we may compute xi and fixi as following.

Number of plantsNumber of house (fi)xiFixi
0 – 2111
2 – 4236
4 – 6155
6 – 85735
8 – 106954
10 – 1221122
12 – 1431339
TotalN = 20 Sum = 162

From the table we may observe that N = 20, Sum = 162

So mean number of plants per house is 8.1. We have used for the direct method values Xi and fi are very small

Question: 3

Consider the following distribution of daily wages of workers of a factory

Daily wages (in Rs)100 – 120120 – 140140 – 160 160 – 180180 – 200
Number of workers:12168610

Find the mean daily wages of the workers of the factory by using an appropriate method.

Solution:

Let the assume mean (A) = 150

Class intervalMid value xidi = xi – 150ui = (xi – 150)/20Frequency fiFiui
100 – 120110-40-212-24
120 – 140130-20-114-14
140 – 1601500080
160 – 18017020166
180 – 2001904021020
    N = 50Sum = -12

We have N = 50, h = 20

= 150 – 4.8
= 145.2

Question: 4

Thirty women were examined in a hospital by a doctor and the number of heart beats per minute recorded and summarized as follows. Find the mean heart beats per minute for these women, choosing a suitable method. Number of heart

Beats Per minute:65 – 6868 – 7171 – 7474 – 7777 – 80 80 – 83 83 – 86
Number of women:2438742

Solution:

We may find marks of each interval (xi) by using the relation (xi¬) = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/2 Class size of this data = 3 Now talking 75.5 as assumed mean (a) We may calculate di, ui, fiui as following

Number of heart beats per minuteNumber of women (xi)xidi = xi – 75.5ui = (xi – 755)/hfiui
65-68266.5-9-3-6
68-71969.5-6-2-8
71-74372.5-3-1-3
74-77875.5000
77-80778.5317
80-83481.5628
83-86284.5936
 N = 30   Sum = 4

Now we may observe from table that N = 30, sum = 4

= 75.5 + 0.4
= 75.9 
So mean heart beats per minute for those women are 75.9 beats per minute

Question: 18

The mean of the following frequency distribution is 62.8 and the sum of all the frequencies is 50. Compute the miss frequency f1 and f2.

Class:   0 – 2020 – 4040 – 6060 – 8080 – 100100 – 120

100 – 1201108880
  N = 30 +fi + f2Sum = 30f1+70 f2+ 2060

Given, sum of frequency
50 = f1 + f2 + 30
f1 + f2 = 50 – 30
f1 +f2 = 20
3f1 + 3f2 = 60 —- (1)       [multiply both side by 3] 
And mean = 62.8 Sum/ N 
= 62.8 = (30f1+ 70f2+ 2060)/50 
= 3140 = 30f1 + 70f2 + 2060
30f1+ 70f2 = 3140 – 2060
30f1 + 70f2 = 1080
3f1 + 7f2 = 108 —- (2) [divide it by 10]
Subtract equation (1) from equation (2)
3f1 + 7f2 – 3f1 – 3f2 = 108 – 60
4f2 = 48 = f2 = 12

Put value of f2 in equation (1)
3f1 + 3(12) = 60
f1 = 24/3 = 8
 f1 = 8, f2 = 12

  N = 43 + PSum = 1245 + 15p

Given Mean = 27
Mean = sum/ N

1161 + 27p = 1245 + 15p
27p – 15p = 1245 – 1161
12p = 84
p = 84/12
p = 7 

Question: 21

In a retail market, fruit vendors were selling mangoes kept in packing boxes. These boxes contain varying number of mangoes. The following was the distribution of mangoes according to the number of boxes.

Number of mangoes:50 – 5253 – 5556 – 5859 – 6162 – 64
Number of boxes:1511013511525

Find the mean number of mangoes kept in packing box. Which method of finding the mean did you choose?

Solution:

Number of mangoesNumber of boxes (fi)
50 – 5215
53 – 55110
56 – 58135
59 – 61115
62 – 6425

We may observe that class internals are not continuous There is a gap between two class intervals. So we have to add 1/2 from lower class limit of each interval and class mark (xi) may be obtained by using the relation xi = (upper limit + lower class limit)/2. Class size (h) of this data = 3 Now taking 57 as assumed mean (a) we may calculated di , ui, fiui as follows

Class intervalFrequency fiMid value xi  di =  xi – Aui = (xi – A)/3fiui
49.5 – 52.51551-6-2-30
52.5 – 55.511054-3-1-110
55.5 – 58.513557000
58.5 – 61.51156031115
61.5 – 64.525636250
TotalN = 400   Sum = 25

Now we have N = 400, Sum = 25, 
Mean = A + h (sum/ N) 
= 57 + 3 (25/400) 
= 57 + 3/16 
= 57+ 0.1875 
= 57.19
Clearly mean number of mangoes kept in packing box is 57.19 

Question: 22

The table below shows the daily expenditure on food of 25 households in a locality

Daily expenditure (in Rs):100 – 150150 – 200200 – 250250 -300300 – 350
Number of households:451222

Find the mean daily expenditure on food by a suitable method.

Solution:

We may calculate class mark (xi) for each interval by using the relation xi = (upper limit + lower class limit)/2. Class size = 50 Now, talking 225 as assumed mean (xi) we may calculate di ,ui, fiui as follows:

Daily expenditureFrequency fiMid value xi  di = xi ­– 225ui = (xi – 225)50fiui
100 – 1504125-100-2-8
150 – 2005175-50-1-5
200 – 25012225000
250 – 30022755012
300 – 350232510024
 N = 25   Sum = – 7

Now we may observe that N = 25 Sum = -7

225 = 50 + (-7/ 25) × 225 
225 – 14 
= 211 
So, mean daily expenditure on food is Rs 211

Question: 23

To find out the concentration of SO2 in the air (in parts per million i. e ppm) the data was collected for localities for 30 localities in a certain city and is presented below:

0.04 – 0.089
0.08 – 0.129
0.12 – 0.162
0.16 – 0.204
0.20 – 0.242

Find the mean concentration of SO2 in the air 

Solution:

We may find class marks for each interval by using the relation xi = (upper limit + lower class limit)/2. Class size of this data = 0.04 Now taking 0.04 assumed mean (xi) we may calculate di, ui, fiui as follows:

Concentration of SO2Frequency fiClass interval xidi = xi – 0.14uifiui
0.00 – 0.0440.02-0.12-3-12
0.04 – 0.0890.06-0.08-2-18
0.08 – 0.1290.1-0.04-1-9
0.12 – 0.1620.14000
0.16 – 0.2040.180.0414
0.20 – 0.2420.220.0824
TotalN = 30   Sum = -31

From the table we may observe that N = 30, Sum = – 31

= 0.04 + (-31/30) × (0.04) 
= 0.099 ppm 
So mean concentration of SO2 ¬in the air is 0.099 ppm 

Question: 24

A class teacher has the following absentee record of 40 students of a class for the whole term. Find the mean number of days a student was absent.

Number of days:0 – 66 – 1010 – 1414 – 20 20 – 2828 – 3838 – 40
Number of students:111074431

Solution:

We may find class mark of each interval by using the relation xi = (upper limit + lower class limit)/2 Now, taking 16 as assumed mean (a) we may Calculate di and fi di  as follows

Number of daysNumber of students fiXid = xi – 16fidi
0 – 6113-13-143
6 – 10108-8-80
10 – 14712-4-28
14 – 2071600
20 – 28824864
28 – 363331751
30 – 401392323
TotalN = 40  Sum = -113

Now we may observe that N = 40, Sum = -113

16 + (-113/ 40)
= 16 – 2.825
= 13.75
So mean number of days is 13.75 days, for which student was absent

Question: 25

The following table gives the literacy rate (in percentage) of 35 cities. Find the mean literacy rate.

Literacy rate (in %):45 -5555 – 6565 – 7575 – 8585 – 95
Number of cites:3101183

Solution:

We may find class marks by using the relation xi = (upper limit + lower class limit)/2 Class size (h) for this data = 10 Now taking 70 as assumed mean (a) wrong Calculate di ,ui, fiui as follows

Literacy rate (in %)Number of cities (fi)Mid value xidi= xi ­– 70ui = (di –A)10fiui
45 – 55350-20-2– 6
55 – 651060-10-1-10
65 – 751170000
75 – 858801018
85 – 953902026
TotalN = 35   Sum = -2

Now we may observe that N = 35, Sum = -2

= 70 + (-2/35) × 10 
= 70 – 4/7 
= 70 – 0.57 
= 69.43 
So, mean literacy rate is 69.43 %
