19. India meteorological department observe seasonal and annual rainfall every year in different
subdivisions 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 (in 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.

(a) Write the modal class.
(b) Find the median of the given data.
OR
Find the mean rainfall in this season.

 (c) 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?

20. ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’ is a country-wide campaign initiated by our Honourable Prime Minister
of India, Mr. Narendra Singh Modi in the year 2014 to eliminate open defecation, to improve solid
waste management and to accelerate the efforts to achieve universal sanitisation.

As part of the ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan’, some houses of a locality in Agra decided to clean up and
beautify a Primary School of their locality by planting a number of plants. They involved the school
kids and the local community in doing so.
The data indicating the number of plants contributed by different houses is tabulated below:
Number of plants contributed Number of houses
1–3 10
4–6 8
7–9 x
10 – 12 7
13 – 15 12
16 – 18 4

(a) If the mean number of plants contributed is 8.9, then how many houses contributed 7 to 9 plants?
(2)
(b) What is the median class? (1)
(c) Find the median number of plants contributed. (1)
