Question 1:

What do you understand by the word ''statistics'' in

(i) singular form       (ii) plural form?

Answer:

(i) In singular form statistics may be defined as the science of collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.

(ii) In plural form statistics means numerical facts or observations collected with definite purpose.

For examples, the income and expenditure of persons in a particular locality, number of males and females in a particular town are statistics.

Question 2:

Describe some fundamental characteristic of statistics.

Answer:

The plural form statistics has the simplest structure and the singular form statistics has many components. There is only structural difference between singular and plural form statistics. Some of the characteristics of a statistics are

1. Statistics is a collection of observations. So, clearly a single observation cannot form a statistics.

2. Statistics are collected with definite purpose.

3. Statistics are comparable and classified into various types depending on their properties.

4. Statistics are expressed quantitatively and not qualitatively.

Question 3:

What are (i) primary data? (ii) secondary data? Which of the two − the primary or the secondary data − is more reliable and why?

Answer:

(i) When an investigator collects data himself with a definite plan or designs in his (her) mind, it is called primary data.

(ii) Data which are not originally collected rather obtained from published or unpublished sources are known as secondary data.

Question 4:

Why do we group data?

Answer:

To study the features of a collected data, the data must be arranged in a condensed form. There are a number of ways to arrange the data in condensed form, namely,

1. Serial order or alphabetical order

2. Ascending order

3. Descending order

But, if the number of observations is large, then arranging data in ascending or descending or serial order is a tedious job and it does not tell us much except perhaps the minimum(s) and maximum(s) of data. So to make it easily understandable and clear we condense the data into groups or table form.

Question 5:

Explain the meaning of the following terms:

(i) variate

(ii) class-integral

(iii) class-size

(iv) class-mark

(v) frequency

(vi) class limits

(vii) true class limits.

Answer:

(i) A name which takes different values is called variates. For example, the mark obtained by students of class IX in mathematics is variates.

(ii) In a grouped data, the groups are called class-intervals. For example, 0-5, 5-10, 10-15… are class intervals.

(iii) The difference between the true upper limit and the true lower limit of a class is called its class size. For example, the class size of the class-interval 10-15 is

(iv) The mid value of a class is called the class mark. For example, the mid value of the class 10-15 is

(v) The number of observation falling in a particular class is called the frequency of that class or class frequency. For example, if the number of students obtaining marks 60-70 in a particular subject is 60, then the frequency of the class 60-70 is 60.

(vi) Class limits are the boundaries of a class. The left boundary of a class is called the lower limit and the right boundary of a class is called the upper limit. For example, for the class interval 60-70 the lower limit is 60 and the upper limit is 70.

(vii) The class limits of a continuous grouped frequency distribution are called true class limits. For example, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20, 20-25, 25-30 are continuous class intervals, then the true lower and upper limits (class limits) of the class 15-20 are 15 and 20 respectively. If the classes are not continuous, then adjust the class intervals to form continuous grouped class intervals.

Question 1:

Define cumulative frequency distribution.

Answer:

Cumulative frequency distribution is a table which displays the manner in which cumulative frequencies are distributed over various classes.

In a grouped frequency distribution the cumulative frequency of a class is the total of all frequencies upto and including that particular class. Make sure that, for calculating cumulative frequencies, the classes should be written in ascending order.

For example, the following table gives the cumulative frequency distribution of marks scored by 55 students in a test:

Cumulative frequency distributions are of two types, namely, less than and greater than or more than. For less than cumulative frequency distributions we add up the frequencies from the above and for greater than cumulative frequencies we add up the frequencies from below.

Page No 22.24:

Question 2:

Explain the difference between a frequency distribution and a cumulative frequency distribution.

Answer:

Frequency distribution displays the frequencies of the corresponding class-intervals. But, the cumulative frequency distribution displays the cumulative frequencies of the corresponding classes.

For example, the following table gives the frequency and cumulative frequency distribution of marks scored by 55 students in a test:

In a frequency distribution, the sum of all the frequencies is equal to the total number of observations. But, in the cumulative frequency distribution, the last cumulative frequency is same as the total number of observations. For example, in the above table the sum of all the frequencies is 55, which is same as the total number of students and the last cumulative frequency is 55, which is same as the total number of students.

The frequency of the class 12-24 is1026−809=217

The frequency of the class 24-36 is 809−427=382

The frequency of the class 36-48 is 427−158=269

The frequency of the class 48-60 is 158−20=138

The frequency of the class 60-72 is 20−5=15

The frequency of the class 72-84 is 5−3=2

Answer:

Let l and m respectively be the lower and upper limits of the class. Then the mid-value of the class is and the class-size is.

Therefore, we have two equations

Subtracting the second equation from the first equation, we have

Hence, the lower limit of the class is 13. Thus, the correct choice is (c).
