 Section – E
(Case Study based Questions)
Q. Nos. 36 to 38 are Case Study based Questions of 4 marks each.

36. Heart Rate : The heart rate is one of the ‘vital signs’ of health in the
human body. It measures the number of times per minute that the heart
contracts or beats. While a normal heart rate does not guarantee that a
person is free of health problems, it is a useful benchmark for identifying
a range of health issues.

Thirty women were examined by doctors of AIIMS and the number of

heart beats per minute were recorded and summarized as follows :
Number of heart beats per minute Number of Women
65 – 68 2
68 – 71 4
71 – 74 3
74 – 77 8
77 – 80 7
80 – 83 4
83 – 86 2
Based on the above information, answer the following questions :
(i) How many women are having heart beat in the range 68 – 77 ? 1
(ii) What is the median class of heart beats per minute for these
women ? 1
(iii) (a) Find the modal value of heart beats per minute for these women. 2
OR
(iii) (b) Find the median value of heart beats per minute for these women. 2
