  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    For an experiment in Botany, two different plants, plant A and plant B were grown under similar laboratory conditions. Their heights were measured at the end of each week for 3 weeks. The results are shown by the following graph.

    ...view full instructions

    How much did Plant B grow from the end of the $$2^{nd}$$ week to the end of the $$3^{rd}$$ week?

    Solution
    In the given graph, The straight line represents the growth of the Plant $$B$$.
    From the graph, we can observe that after $$2$$ weeks Plant $$B$$ has grown $$7\space cm$$ and
    after $$3$$ weeks Plant $$B$$ has grown $$10\space cm$$
    Therefore, from the end of the $$2^{nd}$$ week to the end of the $$3^{rd}$$ week Plant $$B$$ has grown $$10-7=3\space cm$$

    3 weeks?

    Solution
    In the given graph, The straight line represents the growth of the Plant $$B$$.
    From the graph, we can observe that after $$3$$ weeks Plant $$B$$ has grown $$10\space cm$$
  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    The following graph shows the temperature forecast and the actual temperature for each day of a week.

    ...view full instructions

    Days when the forecast temperature the same as the actual temperature are:

    Solution
    In the given graph, the straight line represents the actual temperature and the dotted line represents the forecast temperature.
    From the graph, we can observe that both the actual and forecast temperature graphs intersect at Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.
  • Question 4
    1 / -0
    For an experiment in Botany, two different plants, plant A and plant B were grown under similar laboratory conditions. Their heights were measured at the end of each week for 3 weeks. The results are shown by the following graph.
    How much did Plant A grow during the 3rd week?

    Solution
    In the given graph, The dotted line represents the growth of the Plant $$A$$.
    From the graph, we can observe that after $$2$$ weeks Plant $$A$$ has grown $$7\space cm$$ and
    after $$3$$ weeks Plant $$A$$ has grown $$9\space cm$$
    Therefore, during $$3^{rd}$$ week Plant $$A$$ has grown $$9-7=2\space cm$$
  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    The following graph shows the temperature forecast and the actual temperature for each day of a week.

    ...view full instructions

    What was the minimum actual temperature during the week?

    Solution
    In the given graph, the straight line represents the actual temperature.

    From the graph, we can observe that the minimum temperature was $$15^0C$$ which was observed on Thursday and Friday.
  • Question 6

    The value of  third quartile $$Q_3$$ for the following distribution is

    Marks

    Group
    $$5-10$$ $$10-15$$ $$15-20$$ $$20-25$$  2$$5-30$$ $$30-35$$ $$35-40$$ $$40-45$$
    No. of

    Students
       $$5$$    $$6$$  $$15$$  $$10$$  $$5$$   $$4$$  $$2$$  $$1$$
    Solution
    The cumulative frequency distribution is as given below

    Marks

    Groups (class)
    No. of Students Cumulative

    frequency
    5-10 5 5
    10-15 6 11
    15-20 15 26
    20-25 10 36
    25-30 5 41
    30-35 4 45
    35-40 2 47
    40-45 1 48
    $$N = 48$$

    We have $$N = 48 \quad \Rightarrow \displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} = 36$$
    The cumulative frequency just greater than $$\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4}$$ is $$41$$. The corresponding class is $$25-30$$. It is the upper quartile class.

    $$\therefore \quad l = 25, \space f = 5, \space h = 5, \space F = 36$$

    $$\therefore \quad Q_3 = l + \displaystyle\frac{\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} - F}{f}\times h = 25 + \displaystyle\frac{36-36}{5}\times 5 = 25$$
  • Question 7

    1448029380
    1562030350

    Solution
    Arranging the wages in ascending order, we obtain the following table:
    S. NoWages (Rs.)S. No.Wages (Rs.)
    112016400
    217017420
    321018440

    13350
    28580
    1437029620
    1538030680

    We have, $$ n = 30$$
    Lower Quartile:
    $$\quad Q_1 =$$ Value of $$\left(\displaystyle\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad Q_1 =$$ Value of $$\left(\displaystyle\frac{30+1}{4}\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad Q_1 =$$ Value of $$\left(7.75\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad

    Q_1 =$$ Value of $$\left(7\right)^{th}$$ observation +

    $$\displaystyle\frac{3}{4}$$(Value of $$8^{th}$$ observation - Value of

    $$7^{th}$$ observation)
    $$\Rightarrow \quad Q_1 = 300 + \displaystyle\frac{3}{4}(320 - 300) = 315$$

    Middle Quartile (Median):
    $$Q_2$$

    = A.M. of $$\left(\displaystyle\frac{n}{2}\right)^{th}$$ and

    $$\left(\displaystyle\frac{n}{2} + 1\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow

    \quad Q_2 = \displaystyle\frac{\mbox{value of } 15^{th} \mbox{

    observation} + \mbox{value of } 16^{th} \mbox{ observation}}{2}$$
    $$\Rightarrow \quad Q_2 = \displaystyle\frac{380 + 400}{2} = 390$$

    Upper Quartile:
    $$\quad Q_3 = $$ Value of $$3\left(\displaystyle\frac{n+1}{4}\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad Q_3 = $$ Value of $$3\left(\displaystyle\frac{30+1}{4}\right)^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad Q_3 = $$ Value of $$23.25^{th}$$ observation
    $$\Rightarrow\quad

    Q_3 = $$ Value of $$23^{rd}$$ observation +

    $$\displaystyle\frac{1}{4}($$ Value of $$24^{th}$$ Observation - Value

    of $$23^{rd}$$ observation $$)$$
    $$\Rightarrow\quad Q_3 = 480 + \displaystyle\frac{1}{4}(490 - 480) = 482.50$$
    $$\therefore \quad Q_1+Q_2+Q_3 = 315+390+482.50 = 1187.50$$
  • Question 8
    1 / -0
    If the quartile deviation of a set of observations is $$10$$ and the third quartile is $$35$$, then the first quartile is :
    Solution
    Quartile Deviation ($$ { Q }_{ D } $$) means the semi variation between the upper quartile or third quartile ($$ { Q }_{ 3 } $$) and lower quartile or first quartile ($$ { Q }_{ 1 } $$) in a distribution.
    Formula = $$ { Q }_{ D }=\cfrac { { Q }_{ 3 }-{ Q }_{ 1 } }{ 2 } $$
    Given, $$ { Q }_{ D } $$$$ = 10$$  and  $$ { Q }_{ 3 } $$ $$= 35$$
      $$ 10=\cfrac { 35-{ Q }_{ 1 } }{ 2 }  $$ 
      $$ { Q }_{ 1 } $$ $$= 15$$
  • Question 9
    1 / -0
    For the following data, the value of $$Q_1 + Q_3 - Q_2$$ is :
    Age in years:20304050607080
    No. of members:361132153140513
    Solution
    The cumulative frequency table is as given below
    Age in

    years
    No. of students Cumulative

    frequency
    20                   3 3
    30 61 64
    40 132 196
    50 153 349
    60 140 489
    70 51 540
    81 3 543
    N $$= $$543
    Lower Quartile: We have, $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{543}{4} = 135.75$$
    Cumulative frequency just greater than $$N/4$$ is $$196$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$40$$.
    $$\therefore\quad Q_1 = $$ Lower Quartile = $$40$$ years
    Middle Quartile (Medium):
    We have, $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{543}{2} = 271.5$$
    Cumulative frequency just greater than $$N/2$$ is $$349$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$50$$.
    $$\therefore\quad Q_2 = $$ Middle quartile = $$50$$ years
    Upper Quartile:
    We have $$\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{3\times543}{4} = 407.25$$
    Cumulative frequency just greater than $$407.25$$ is $$489$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$60$$.
    $$\therefore\quad Q_3= $$ Upper quartile  $$=60$$ years
    $$\therefore\quad Q_1 + Q_3 - Q_2 = 40+60-50 = 50 = Q_2$$
  • Question 10

    No. of

    Workers:
    2 3 6 15 10 5 4 3 1

    The value of $$\displaystyle\frac{Q_1+Q_3}{2}$$ is equal to
    Solution
    The cumulative frequency of the table is a given below:

    Weekly

    income ( in Rs.)
    No. of workers Cumulative

    frequency
    58 2 2
    59 3 5
    60 6 11
    61 15 26
    62 10 36
    63 5 41
    64 4 45
    65 3 48
    66 1 49
    N = 49

    Lower Quartile: 
    We have $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{49}{4} = 12.25$$
    The cumulative frequency just greater than $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{4}$$ is $$26$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$61$$
    $$\therefore\quad Q_1 = Rs.\space 61$$

    Middle Quartile (median): 
    We have $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{49}{2} = 24.5$$
    The cumulative frequency just greater than $$\displaystyle\frac{N}{2}$$ is $$26$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$61$$
    $$\therefore\quad Q_2 = Rs.\space 61$$

    Upper Quartile:
    We have $$\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4} = \displaystyle\frac{3\times49}{4} = 36.75$$
    The cumulative frequency just greater than $$\displaystyle\frac{3N}{4}$$ is $$41$$ and the corresponding value of the variable is $$63$$
    $$\therefore\quad Q_3 = Rs.\space 63$$

    $$\therefore\quad \displaystyle\frac{Q_1+Q_3}{2} = \displaystyle\frac{61+63}{2} = 62$$
