Question 11
Size of agricultural holdings in a survey of 200 families is given in the following table
$\begin{matrix} S i z e o f a g r i c u l t u r a l h o l d i n g s (i n h e c) & N u m b e r o f f a m i l i e s 0 - 5 & 10 5 - 10 & 15 10 - 15 & 30 15 - 20 & 80 20 - 25 & 40 25 - 30 & 20 30 - 35 & 5 \end{matrix}$
Compute median and size of the holdings.

Solution

$\begin{matrix} S i z e o f a g r i c u l t u r a l h o l d i n g s (i n h e c) & N u m b e r o f f a m i l i e s (f_{i}) & C u m u l a t i v e f r e q u e n c y 0 - 5 & 10 & 10 5 - 10 & 15 & 25 10 - 15 & 30 & 55 15 - 20 & 80 & 135 20 - 25 & 40 & 175 25 - 30 & 20 & 195 30 - 35 & 5 & 200 \end{matrix}$
(i) Here, N=200
Now, $\frac{N}{2} = \frac{200}{2} = 100,$ which lies in the interval 15-20.
Lower limit, l=15, h=5, f=80 and cf=55
$∴ M e d i a n = l + (\frac{\frac{N}{2} - c f}{f}) \times h = 15 + (\frac{100 - 55}{80}) \times 5 = 15 + (\frac{45}{16}) = 15 + 2.81 = 17.81 h e c$
(ii) In a given table 80 is the highest frequency.
So, the modal class is 15-20.
Here , l=15, $f_{m} = 80, f_{1} = 30, f_{2} = 40 a n d h = 5$
$∴ M o d e = l + (\frac{f_{m} - f_{1}}{2 f_{m} - f_{1} - f_{2}}) \times h = 15 + (\frac{80 - 30}{2 \times 80 - 30 - 40}) \times 5 = 15 + (\frac{50}{160 - 70}) \times 5 = 15 + (\frac{50}{90}) \times 5 = 15 \times \frac{25}{9} = 15 + 2.77 = 17.77 h e c$
