Solved Practice Questions for Lecture No.

23- 25
Lecture No. 23

1. What are the main methods of presentation of data?

The main methods of presentation of data are Text, table and graphs.

2. Differentiate between line graph and sector graph.

Line Graph Sector Graph


A line graph plots data as points and then Sector graphs used the division of circle into
joins them with a line. different sectors.
A line graph usually shows trend by a line. A sector graph show percentage or degree of
the data.
A line graph generally used for showing trend A sector graph is used for showing
relationship between two factors. concentrated amount of two or more than two
factors.
E.g. To analyze long term trends of business E.g To analyze distribution of employment
statistics. injuries by occupation.

3. What are the factors on which the data is classified in different categories? Give
example of each category.
4.

The different factors on which data is classified are below:

 Qualitative: Attributes: sex, religion


 Quantitative Characteristics: Heights, weights, incomes etc.
 Geographical: Regions: Provinces, divisions etc.
 Chronological or Temporal : increasing or decreasing
 by time of occurrence: Time series

Lecture No. 24

1. Calculate the mean , median and mode for the following data
13, 18, 13, 14, 13, 16, 14, 21, 13.
Rearranging the data:
13, 13, 13,13,14,14,16,18,21

Mean = Sum of terms/no. of terms


Mean = 13+13+13+13+14+14+16+18+21/9
Mean= 135/9 = 15

Median of population 13, 13, 13,13,14,14,16,18,21


Median = 14

Mode of population 13, 13, 13,13,14,14,16,18,21


Mode = 13 (occurring for most no. of times)

2. Define range, classes and class width for a set of data .Calculate the range, class
width, frequency and relative frequency for the following data
36, 48, 54, 92, 57, 63, 66, 76, 66, 80.

Definitions:

Range: The amount of spread of data. Difference between maximum value to minimum
value.
Range = Maximum Value – Minimum Value

Class: A data class is a list of data set allocation attributes and their values.

Class width: Difference between the upper and lower boundaries of any class.

Calculations:

Rearranging the data

36,48,54,57,63,66,66,76,80,92

Range = 92 – 36 = 56

Class width = Range / Number of classes

= 56 / 6 = 9.33 ≅ 10

By rounding up 10.

Available data
36,48,54,57,63,66,66,76,80,92

To find Frequency and Relative frequency.

Class Frequency Relative frequency % Relative


( no. of elements = Frequency of class Frequency
appearing in the interval/ Total = Relative Frequency
interval) Frequency * 100
34--44 1 =1/10= 0.1 10
44--54 2 =2/10= 0.2 20
55--64 2 =2/10= 0.2 20
65--74 2 =2/10= 0.2 20
75--84 2 =2/10= 0.2 20
85--94 1 =1/10= 0.1 10
Total 10 1 100

3. Following are the heights of 5 students measured at the time of registration. Find median
for the data 88.03, 94.50, 94.90, 93.05, 80.60

Rearranging the data

80.06, 88.03, 93.05, 94.50, 94.90,

Median: As the total value are 5 i-e no. of values are odd. So middle value is median.

Which is 3rd value of population data is 93.05.

Lecture No. 25

1. Calculate the arithmetic mean of the following grouped data

Distance 1-10 11-20 21-30 31-40


Number of 10 20 40 30
persons
For group data :

Class Frequency (f) Class marks/class fX


mid-point (X)
1-10 10 5.5 55
11-20 20 15.5 310
21-30 40 25.5 1020
31-40 30 35.5 1056
Total 100 2450

Arithmetic mean of grouped data = Sum of fX / No.of value

= 2450/ 100

= 24.5

Answer: Arithmetic mean=24.5

2. A die is thrown 20 times and the following scores are recorded


6, 3, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 2.
Find its arithmetic mean.

Rearranging the values


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

Arithmetic mean of sample data= Sum of Value / No. of Values


= (1+1+2+2+3+3+3+3+4+5+5+5+5+6+6+6+6+6+6) / 20
= 81 / 20 = 4.05
Answer: Arithmetic mean=4.05

3. Calculate the frequency for the following data using MS Excel.


80, 75, 90, 69, 83, 55, 79, 93, 58, 94, 89.
A B
1 80 50
2 75 60
3 90 70
4 69 80
5 83 90
6 55 100
7 79
8 93
9 58
10 94
11 89
