Question 1:

Answer:

First, we will arrange the data in increasing order.

3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 7

Frequency table of the above data:
 

Number of members Tally marks Number of families (frequency)
3 |||| 4
4 |||| 4
5 |||| || 7
6 ||| 3
7 || 2

Answer:

Arranging the outcomes in increasing order, we get:

1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6

Now, we have:

1 was thrown 6 times
2 was thrown 6 times
3 was thrown 4 times
4 was thrown 5 times
5 was thrown 4 times
6 was thrown 5 times

Frequency distribution table of the above data:

Answer:

(i) Number of students = 14+18+10=42
(ii) Class interval with least number of students = 150−155
(iii) Class size = 130 − 125 = 5
(iv) Number of students with height less than 140 = 14+8+6=28

(iii) Class size = 130 − 125 = 5
(iv) Number of students with height less than 140 = 14+8+6=28

Answer:

 (i) The given histogram tells about the number of teachers in a school from the age group 25-30 to 55-60.
 (ii) Number of teachers with age less than 45 years = 3+5+7+6=21
 (iii) Number of teachers with age more than 40 years but less than 55 years = 6+4+3=13

Question 11:

 (i) The given histogram tells about the number of teachers in a school from the age group 25-30 to 55-60.
 (ii) Number of teachers with age less than 45 years = 3+5+7+6=21
 (iii) Number of teachers with age more than 40 years but less than 55 years = 6+4+3=13

Answer:

(i) Age group =10 to 40
    Given all the classes are of equal width
    Number of class interval of equal width = 6
    Class width = 40-106=5 
    Classes are 10-15,15-20,20-25,25-30,30-35,35-40


(ii) Class width = 40-106=5

(iii)Age group with least literate females = 10-15
(iv)Age group with highest literate females = 15-20
