In the above graph, the rectangle bars are of same length and have equal spacing in between them.
(ii) Political party 'A' won maximum number of seats.
Question 4:
The length of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to one millimetre, obtained data is represented in the following table:
| Length(in mm) | Number of leaves |
|---|---|
| 118 - 126 | 3 |
| 127 - 135 | 5 |
| 136 - 144 | 9 |
| 145 - 153 | 12 |
| 154 - 162 | 5 |
| 163 - 171 | 4 |
| 172 - 180 | 2 |
(i)Draw a histogram to represent the given data.
(ii)Is there any Other suitable graphical representation For the same data?
(iii) Is It correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long?Why?
Answer:
(i) It can be observed that the length of leaves is represented in a discontinuous class interval having a difference of 1 in between them.
Therefore,1/2 = 0.5 has to be added to each upper class limit and also have to subtract 0.5 from the lower class limits so as to make the class intervals continuous.
| Length(in mm) | Number of leaves |
|---|---|
| 117.5 - 126.5 | 3 |
| 126.5 - 135.5 | 5 |
| 135.5 - 144.5 | 9 |
| 144.5 - 153.5 | 12 |
| 153.5 - 162.5 | 5 |
| 162.5 - 171.5 | 4 |
| 171.5 - 180.5 | 2 |
Taking the length of leaves on x-axis and the number of leaves on y-axis, histogram can be drawn as shown above. In the graph, 1 unit on y-axis represents 2 leaves.
(i) Other suitable graphical representation of this data is Frequency polygon.
(ii) No, as maximum number of leaves ( i.e., 12) has their length in between 144.5mm and 153.5 mm.
It is not necessary that all have their lengths as 153 mm
Question 5:
The following table gives the life times of neon lamps:
| Length(in hours) | Number of lamps |
|---|---|
| 300 - 400 | 14 |
| 400 - 500 | 56 |
| 500 - 600 | 60 |
| 600 - 700 | 86 |
| 700 - 800 | 74 |
| 800 - 900 | 62 |
| 900 - 1000 | 48 |
(i) Represent the given information with the help of a histogram.
(ii) How many lamps have a lifetime of more than 700 hours?
Answer:
(i) By taking life time (in hours) of neon lamps on x-axis and the number of lamps an y-axis,
the histogram of the given information can be drawn as follows.
Here, 1 unit on y-axis represents 10 lamps.
(ii) It can be concluded that the number of neon lamps having their lifetime more than 700 is the sum of the number of neon lamps having their lifetime as 700 - 800, 800 - 900, and 900 - 1000.
Therefore, the number of neon lamps having their lifetime more than 700 hours is 184.
i.e. (74 + 62 + 48 = 184)
i.e. (74 + 62 + 48 = 184)
Question 6:
The following table gives the distribution of students of two sections according to the mark obtained by them.
| Marks | Frequency | Marks | Frequency |
| 0 - 10 | 3 | 0 - 10 | 5 |

| 20 - 30 | 17 | 0 - 10 | 15 |
| 30 - 40 | 12 | 0 - 10 | 10 |
| 40 - 50 | 9 | 0 - 10 | 1 |
Represent the marks of the students of bath the sections on the same graph by two frequency polygons. From the two polygons compare the performance of the two sections
Answer:
We can find the class marks of the given class intervals by using the following formula.
class marks = (upper limit + lower limit) / 2| Marks | Class Marks | Frequency | Marks | Marks | Frequency |
| 0 - 10 | 5 | 3 | 0 - 10 | 5 | 5 |
| 10 - 20 | 15 | 9 | 10 - 20 | 15 | 19 |
| 20 - 30 | 25 | 17 | 20 - 30 | 25 | 15 |
| 30 - 40 | 35 | 12 | 30 - 40 | 35 | 10 |
| 40 - 50 | 45 | 9 | 40 - 50 | 45 | 1 |
Taking class scale (1 Limit marks on x-axis and frequency on y axis 3 for y-axis), the frequency polygon can and choosing an appropriate be drawn as follows.
It is seen that the performance of students of section 'A' is better than the students of section 'B',

| 49 - 54 | 6 | 8 |
| 55 - 60 | 2 | 10 |
Represent the data of both teams on the same graph by frequency polygons.
[Hint: First make the class intervals continuous.]
Answer :
It can be observed that the class intervals of the given data are not continuous.
There is a gap of 1 in between them. Therefore,
Continuous data with class mark of each class internal can be represented as follows.
1/ 2 = 0.5 has to be added to the upper class limits and 0.5 has to be subtracted from the lower class limits.Also, class mark of each interval can be found by using the following formula.
class marks = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/ 2
class marks = (upper class limit + lower class limit)/ 2
Continuous data with class mark of each class internal can be represented as follows.
| Number of balls | Class marks | Team A | Team B |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 - 6.5 | 3.5 | 2 | 5 |
| 6.5 - 12.5 | 9.5 | 1 | 6 |
| 12.5 - 18.5 | 15.5 | 8 | 2 |
| 18.5 - 24.5 | 21.5 | 9 | 10 |
| 24.5 - 30.5 | 27.5 | 4 | 5 |
| 30.5 - 36.5 | 33.5 | 5 | 6 |
| 36.5 - 42.5 | 39.5 | 6 | 3 |
| 42.5 - 48.5 | 45.5 | 10 | 4 |
| 48.5 - 54.5 | 51.5 | 6 | 8 |
| 54.5 - 60.5 | 57.5 | 2 | 10 |
By taking class marks on x-axis and runs scored on y-axis, a frequency polygon is constructed as shown as follows:

4x1/1
= 2 |
Taking the age of children proportion of children per 1 year interval on y-axis,the histogram can be drawn as follows:
Question 9:
100 surnames were randomly picked up from a local telephone directory and a frequency distribution of the number of letters in the English alphabet in the surnames was found as follows:
| Number of letters | Number Of surnames |
|---|---|
| 1 - 4 | 6 |
| 4 - 6 | 30 |
| 6 - 8 | 44 |
| 8 - 12 | 16 |
| 12 - 20 | 4 |
(i) Draw a histogram to depict the g•ven information.
(ii) Write the class int—wal in which the maximum number of surname lie.
Answer:
(i) Here, it can be observed that the data has class intervals of varying width. The proportion of the number of surnames per 2 letters interval can be calculated as follows.
| Number of letters | Frequency(number of surnames) | Width of class | Length of rectangle |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 - 2 | 6 | 3 |
6x2/3
= 4 |
| 4 - 6 | 30 | 2 |
30x2/2
= 30 |
| 6 - 8 | 44 | 2 |
44x2/2
= 44 |
| 8 - 12 | 16 | 4 |
16x2/4
= 8 |
| 12 - 20 | 4 | 8 |
4x2/8
= 1 |
By taking the number of letters on x-axis and the proportion af the number of surnames per 2 letters interval on y-axis and choosing an appropriate scale (1 unit 4 students for y axis), the histogram is drawn as follows.
(ii) The class interval in which the maximum number of surnames lies is 6 - 8 as it has 44 surnames in it.
