Exercise 8.2

Question 1.
For the following up grouped data 8, 15, 14, 19, 11, 16, 10, 8, 17, 20. Find the median.
Solution:
Arrange the values in ascending order 8, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 17, 19, 20
The number of values = 10

Question 2.

Let us arrange the values in ascending order 0, 7, 12, 21, 25, 29, 35, 45, 56, 58, 66
The number of values = 11 which is odd.

Exercise 8.3

Question 1.
Find the mode of the given data : 65, 65, 71, 71, 72, 75, 82, 72, 47, 72.
Solution:
In the given data 72 occurs thrice. Hence the mode is 72.

Question 2.
Find the mode:

Solution:
7 has the maximum frequency 21. Therefore 7 is the mode.

Question 3.
Find the mode for the following data.

Solution:

Question 4.
In a distribution, the mean and mode are 46 and 40 respectively. Calculate the median.
Solution:
Given, Mean = 46 and mode = 40
Using mode ≈ 3 median – 2 mean ,
40 ≈ 3 Median – 2 (46)
3 Median ≈ 40 + 92
Therefore, Median ≈ 132/3 = 44
