Unit-1(Problem)
Discrete Date
1. The number of children in 20 families
1,1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2, 1,1, 4, 5, 2, 4, 2, 2, 1, 3, 3, 2 ,5 Construct a frequency
distribution.
Calculation Table:
Children Tally Bars No. of families
1 IIII 5
2 IIII I 6
3 IIII 4
4 III 3
5 II 2
Total 20
Result
Children(X) 1 2 3 4 5
No.of families(F) 5 6 4 3 2
Grouped data
2. The following data indicates number of people in different. Construct a
frequency distribution.
20 50 60 70 35 45 39
61 74 80 25 30 39 40
58 60 67 71 81 82 85
86 80 94 89 56 58 40
45 56 63 72 79 40 18
Calculation:
Range = L-S = 94 – 18 = 76.
Approximate no. of classes are: 2k N
2k > N
21(2) ≯ 35
22(4) ≯ 35
23(8) ≯ 35
24(16) ≯ 35
25(32) ≯ 35
26(64) > 35
2k N 26 35 k = 6 (N = total no. of observations)
Class Width = Range/k = 76/6 = 12.67 13
Hence the grouped frequency distribution is:
C.I Tally Bar F
18 – 30 IIII 4
31 – 43 IIII I 6
44 – 56 IIII 5
57 – 69 IIII II 7
70 – 82 IIII IIII 9
83 – 95 IIII 4
Total 35
Result
C.I 18-30 31-43 44-56 57-69 70-82 83-95
F 4 6 5 7 9 4
Cumulative Frequency Distribution
1. The Marks of 47 students are given below. Find Cumulative frequency
distribution.
Marks 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50
No. of Students 8 12 18 9
Calculation Table:
Marks No. of Less than CF More than CF
Students (UL) (LL)
10-20 8 20 8 10 47
20-30 12 30 8+12=20 20 47-8=39
30-40 18 40 20+18=38 30 39-12=27
40-50 9 50 38+9=47 40 27-18=9
N=47 50 9-9=0
2. The marks of 166 students are given below. Find cumulative frequency distribution .
C.I 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35 35-40
F 6 15 37 59 31 11 7
Calculation Table:
Marks No. of Less than CF More than CF
Students
5-10 6 10 6 5 N=166
10-15 15 15 6+15=21 10 166-6=160
15-20 37 20 21+37=58 15 160-15=145
20-25 59 25 58+59=117 25 145-37=108
25-30 31 30 117+31=148 30 108-59=49
30-35 11 35 148+11=159 35 49-31=18
35-40 7 40 159+7=166 40 18-11=7
N=166 45 7-7=0
Bivariate Frequency Distribution
1. Following data gives the age in years and marks obtained by 30 students in an
intelligence test
Age: 16 17 22 19 21 16 21 20 20 23 22 19 23 20 22
Marks: 16 19 39 50 48 41 59 44 42 62 37 67 45 57 35
Age: 22 23 22 17 18 16 21 19 20 17 18 23 21 20 16
Marks: 37 38 56 54 61 47 67 49 56 51 42 65 56 52 48
Prepare a bivariate frequency distributin by taking class intervals 16-18, 18-20, ….etc. , for
Age and 10-20, 20-30 etc., for marks
Solution:
2. Construct a bivariate frequency distribution table of the marks obtained by students in
English (X) and Statistics (Y)
Marks in Statistics(X) 37 20 46 28 35 26 41 48 32 23 20 39 47 33 27 26
Marks in English(Y) 30 32 41 33 29 43 30 21 44 38 47 24 32 31 20 21
Construct a bivariate frequency distribution table for the given data by taking class intervals
20−30, 30−40, . etc. for both X and Y.
Solution:
