Cased Based Questions

1. India metrological department observes seasonal and annual rainfall every year in different sub-divisions of our
country.

It helps them to compare and analyse the results. The table given below shows sub-division wise seasonal (monsoon)
rainfall (mm) in 2018:

Rainfall (mm) Number of Sub-Divisions

200-400 2
400-600 4
600-800 7
800-1000 4
1000-1200 2
1200-1400 3
1400-1600 1
1600-1800 1

Based on the above information, answer the following questions:

(I) write the modal class.

(II) Find the median of the given data.

(III) Find the mean rainfall in this season

(IV) If sub-division having at least 1000 mm rainfall during monsoon season, is considered good rainfall sub-division,
then how many sub-divisions had good rainfall?
2. A stopwatch was used to find the time that it took a group of students to run 100 m. The following table exhibits
the time intervals and the number of students completing the 100 m race in these intervals.

Time (in sec) 0 – 20 20 – 40 40 – 60 60 – 80 80 – 100

No. of students: 8 10 13 6 3

(i) Estimate the mean time taken by a student to finish the race.

(ii) What will be the upper limit of the modal class?

(iii) The construction of cumulative frequency table is useful in determining the:

(A) mean (B) median (C) mode (D) all of these

(iv) What is the sum of lower limit of modal class and median class?

(v) How many students finished the race within 1 minute?

3. During medical checkup of 35 students of a class, their weighs were recorded as follows:

Weight less 38 40 42 44 46 48 50 52
than(in kg)
No of 0 3 5 9 14 28 32 35
students:

(i) What is the median class of the given data?

(ii) What is the lower limit of the modal class?

(iii) What is the median weight of the given record?

(iv) What is the sum of lower limits of the median and modal class?

(v) After computing mean and median, mode can be computed by using:

(A) Mode = 3 median – 2 mean (B) mode = 2 median – 3 mean

(C) mode = 3(median – mode) (D) mode = 2(median – mean)
