(i) The number of mountain climbers in the age group 20 to 60 in TamilNadu.
Answer:
Yes

(ii) Production of cycles in different years.
Answer:
No

(iii) The number of students in each class of a school.
Answer:
No

(iv) The number votes polled from 7 am to 6 pm in an election.
Answer:
Yes

(v) The wickets fallen from 1 over to 50th over in a one day cricket match.
Answer:
Yes

Question 2.
Fill in the blanks:
(i) The total area of the histogram is _________ to the total frequency of the given data.
Answer:
proportional

(ii) A graph that displays data that changes continuously over the periods of time is _________ .
Answer:
Histogram

(iii) Histogram is a graphical representation of_________ data.
Answer:
grouped

Question 3.
In a village, there are 570 people who have cell phones. An NGO survey their cell phone usage. Based on this survey a histogram is drawn. Answer the following questions.

(i) How many people use the cell phone for less than 3 hours?
Answer:
330 people (110 + 220)

(ii) How many of them use the cell phone for more than 5 hours?
Answer:
150 of them (100 + 50)

(iii) Are people using cell phone for less than 1 hour?
Answer:
No

Question 4.
Draw a histogram for the following data.

Answer:
The given (tata IS continuous frequency distribution taking class intervals on X axis and No. of students on Y-axis, the histogram is given below.

Question 5.
Construct a histogram from the following distribution of total marks of 40 students in a class.

Answer:
The given distribution is continuous taking marks on X axis and No. of students on Y-axis the histogram is constructed.

Question 6.
The distribution of heights (in cm ) of loo people is given below. Construct a histogram and the frequency polygon imposed on it.

Answer:
The given distribution is discontinuous.
Converting into continuous distribution we have
Lower boundary = lower limit – 1/2 (gap between adjacent class interval)
= 125 – 1/2 (1) = 124.5
Upper boundary = Upper limit + 1/2 (gap between the adjacent class interval)
= 135 + 1/2 = 135.5
∴ The new frequency table is

Question 7.
In a study of dental problem, the following data were obtained.

Represent the above data by a frequency polygon.
Answer:
Finding the midpoints of the class interval we get.

The points tobe plotted are A(5,5), B(15, 13), C(25, 25), D(35, 14), E(45, 30), G(65, 43.), H(75, 50) to obtain the frequency polygon ZABCDEFGHI.
Where I imagined class between 80 and 90.

Question 8.
The marks obtained by 50 students in Mathematics are given below (j) Make a frequency distribution table taking a class size of 10 marks (ii) Draw a histogram and a frequency polygon.

Answer:
Maximum marks obtained = 89
Minimum marks obtained = 08
Range = Maximum marks – Minimim marks
= 89 – 08
= 81
Taking the class size = 10, then

= 81/10 = 8.1 = 9

Now we have the continuous frequency table.

We will draw the histogram taking class interval in x-axis and frequency in y-axis as follows.
