Practice Set 6.2

Question 1.

The following table shows classification of number of workers and the number of hours they work in a software company. Find the median of the number of hours they work.



Answer:


⇒ N = 1000



⇒ 500 Lies in class 10-12


⇒ Median class 10-12


L = lower limit of median class = 10


N = sum of frequencies = 1000


h = class interval of median class = 2


f = frequency of median class = 500


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding median class = 150


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median = 11.4



Question 2.

The frequency distribution table shows the number of mango trees in a grove and their yield of mangoes. Find the median of data.



Answer:


⇒ N = 250



⇒ 125 Lies in class 100-150


⇒ Median class 100-150


L = lower limit of median class = 100


N = sum of frequencies = 250


h = class interval of median class = 50


f = frequency of median class = 30


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding median class = 33


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median =


⇒ Median = 253.33


Question 3.

The following table shows the classification of number of vehicles and their speeds on Mumbai-Pune express way. Find the median of the data.



Answer:

The class is discontinuous between 69-74 and 75-79


Converting the to continuous class



⇒ N = 200



⇒ 100 Lies in class 74.5-79.5


⇒ Median class 74.5-79.5


L = lower limit of median class = 74.5


N = sum of frequencies = 200


h = class interval of median class = 5


f = frequency of median class = 85


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding median class = 99


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median = 74.558



Question 4.

The production of electric bulbs in different factories is shown in the following table. Find the median of the productions.



Answer:


⇒ N = 105



⇒ 52.5 Lies in class 50-60


⇒ Median class 50-60


L = lower limit of median class = 50


N = sum of frequencies = 105


h = class interval of median class = 10


f = frequency of median class = 20


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding median class = 47


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median 


⇒ Median = 52.75


⇒ In thousands = 52.75× 1000 = 52750 lamps
