## T.R. Jain and V.K. Ohri Solutions for Class 11 Statistics for Economics Chapter 10 – Measures of Central Tendency- Median and Mode

### Question 1

The following series show marks in statistics of 9 students in class 11. Find the median marks.

 Marks 22 16 18 13 15 19 17 20 23

Solution:

The data is first arranged in the ascending order:

 S.no. Marks 1 13 2 15 3 16 4 17 5 18 6 19 7 20 8 22 9 23 N = 9
$M\, =\, Size\, of\,\left (\frac{N\,+ 1}{2} \right)th\, item$ $=\, Size\, of\, \left (\frac{9\, +\, 1}{2} \right)th\, item$

= Size of 5th item = 18

Hence, Median = 18

### Question 2

The following table gives the marks obtained by some students. Calculate the median marks obtained by the students.

 Marks 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35 35-40 40-45 Number of students 6 12 17 30 10 10 8 5 2

Solution:

 Marks Frequency (f) Cumulative Frequency 0-5 6 6 5-10 12 18 10-15 17 35(c.f.) (l1)15-20 30 (f) 65 20-25 10 75 25-30 10 85 30-35 8 93 35-40 5 98 40-45 2 100 = N = 100

M = Size of $\left (\frac{N}{2}\right)th\, item$

= Size of $\left (\frac{100}{2}\right)th\, item$ = Size of 50th item

50th item lies in 65th cumulative frequency and the corresponding median class is 15-20.

$M = l1\, +\, \frac{N/2\, -\, c.f.}{f}\times i$

= $=\, 15\, +\, \frac{100/2\, -\, 35\times 5}{30}$

= $=\, 15\, +\, \frac{15-35}{30}\times 5\, =\, 15\, +\, \frac{15}{30\times 5}$

= 15 + 2.5 = 17.5

Median = 17.5 marks

### Question 3

Find the mode from the following data:

8, 10, 5, 8, 12, 7, 8, 9, 11, 7

Solution:

Arrange the series in an ascending order as:

5, 7, 7, 8, 8, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

An inspection of the series shows that the values 8 occurs most frequency in the series.

Hence, Mode (Z) = 8

### Question 4

Calculate the mode from the following data:

 Wages (₹) 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35 Number of workers 3 7 15 30 20 10 5

Solution:

 Wages (₹) Frequency (f) 0-5 3 5-10 7 10-15 15 (f0) (ll) 15-20 30 (f1) 20-25 20 (f2) 25-30 10 30-35 5

Since the series is regular, we may not do grouping for the location of the model group. By inspection, the modal class is 15-20.

Z = l1 $+\, \frac{f1-f0}{2f1\, -\, f0\,- f2}\times i$

Here, l1 = 15, f1 = 30, f0 = 15, f2 = 20, i = 5

Substituting the values, we get,

$Z\, =\, 15\, +\, \frac{30\, 15}{2\left(30 \right)-15-20}\, \times 5$ $=\, 15+\frac{15}{60-35}\times 5$ $=\, 15+\frac{15}{25}\times 5$

= 15+3=18

Thus, Mode = 18
