NCERT Revision Notes for Chapter 14 Statistics Class 10 Maths

Answer

Average or mean is the certain value representative of the whole data and signifying its characteristics is called average of the data. It is also known as mean.

The average is given as

Median of data is central data, obtained when data is arranged in ascending order. Mode is the data, having maximum frequency. 

Answer

Grouped Frequency Table:

 Presenting a large number of data, we need to group data for certain range, and get the frequency of that group. 

 Presenting a large number of data, we need to group data for certain range, and get the frequency of that group.

Example

 Here Frequency of class Size is 0-4 is 3. It means 3 students has obtained marks in the range of 0-4. 

Above is the grouped the data, having range of 4 marks, i.e 0-4, 4-9.These groupings are called ‘classes’ or ‘class-intervals’, and their size is called the class-size or class width.

Class width is chosen according convenience. 

Consider the following Grouped Data

 In class size, if there is 10 as one of the observation, it is not represented in 0-10. It is represented in 10-20. Similarly, If 20 is one of the data; it is included in 20-30. Not in 10-20. So, upper limit is included, and lower limit is excluded.

Inclusive Grouped Data

In this, both upper limit and lower limit is included.

Consider the following Grouped Data

 That is in class 0-9, both 9 is also included.

Answer

Answer

Answer

Mean of an Inclusive Series

To find mean of inclusive series, it is first needed to be converted into exclusive series.

It is done, by subtracting 0.5 from upper and adding 0.5 to lower limit. After that, you can calculate mean by whatever method you like, or by the method which is mentioned in question. 

The class size will be 1 more for exclusive series for corresponding inclusive series. 

Note:- After converting Inclusive series in exclusive series, we can find mean, median and mode of the given data. 

Example: 

So, here we have inclusive series, We will convert it into exclusive like below 

Answer

Cumulative frequency is the running total of all frequencies.

Consider the following Data:-

 The following data represent the marks obtained by 100 students in science test.

 As you can see that, cumulative frequency is the sum of all frequencies of all class size, till that class.

What Cumulative frequency signifies?

 So, by using cumulative frequency, we get that, how many students scored less than a particular mark. Similarly, we can represent the above data, in following form. 

More than and Less Than

Less than

More than

Answer

Answer

Answer

Tabulate the ‘less than’ and ‘more than’ cumulative series, as mentioned earlier. 

On a graph paper, we mark the upper class limits along X axis and corresponding cumulative frequencies along y axis.

Take a point A(0,N/2) on the y axis and draw AP II X-axis, cutting the above curve at a point P. Draw PM perpendicular to x-axis.

We can draw it for both greater than and lower than series.

The point as much both curve intersect is median.

The curve obtained by less than series is known as less than ogive. The curve obtained by more than series is known as more than Ogive.

Q. Draw less than and more than Ogive of the following data, and find the median.

 Sol:

First we will find sum of all frequencies. 

Now, we will draw a more than series table of the above data

Now, we will draw less than series.

Now, we will plot Graphs for both, one by one.
