Exercise 14.1
Q1:Give five examples of data that you can collect from your day-to-day life.
Solution:
In our day to day life, we can collect the following data.
1. Number of females per 1000 males in various states of our country.
2. Weights of students of our class.
3. Production of wheat in the last 10 years in our country.
4. Number of plants in our locality.
5. Rainfall in our city in the last 10 years.
Q2: Classify the data in Q.1 above as primary or secondary data.
Solution:
The information which is collected by the investigator himself with a definite objective in his mind is called as primary data whereas when the information is gathered from a source which already had the information stored, it is called as secondary data. It can be observed that the data in 1, 3, and 5 is secondary data and the data in 2 and 4 is primary data.
Exercise 14.2
EX - 14.2
Q1 : The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recoded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O,
A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common, and which is the rarest, blood group among these students?
Solution:
It can be observed that 9 students have their blood group as A, 6 as B, 3 as AB, and 12 as O.
Therefore, the blood group of 30 students of the class can be represented as follows.
Blood Group |
Numbers of student |
A |
9 |
B |
6 |
O |
12 |
AB |
3 |
Total |
30 |
it can be observed clearly that the most common blood group and the rarest blood group among these students is O and AB respectively as 12 (maximum number of students) have their blood group as O, and 3 (minimum number of students) have their blood group as AB.

(ii) It can be observed that the relative humidity is high. Therefore, the data is about a month of rainy season.
(iii) Range of data = Maximum value - Minimum value
= 99.2 - 84.9 = 14.3

(i) Represent the data given above by a grouped frequency distribution table, taking the class intervals as 160 - 165, 165 - 170, etc.
(ii) What can you conclude bout their heights from the table?
Solution:
(i) A grouped frequency distribution table has to be constructed taking class intervals 160 - 165, 165 - 170, etc. By observing the data given above, the required table can be constructed as follows.
Height (in cm) |
Number of students (frequency ) |
150 - 155 |
12 |
155 - 160 |
9 |
160 - 165 |
14 |
165 - 170 |
10 |
170 - 175 |
5 |
Total |
50 |
(ii) It can be concluded that more than 50% of the students are shorter than165 cm.
Q5: A study was conducted to find out the concentration of Sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million (p pm) of a certain city. The data obtained for 30 days is as follows:
0.03 0.08 0.08 0.09 0.04 0.17 0.16 0.05 0.02 0.06 0.18 0.20 0.11 0.08 0.12 0.13 0.22 0.07 0.08 0.01 0.10 0.06 0.09 0.18 0.11 0.07 0.05 0.07 0.01 0.04
(i) Make a grouped frequency distribution table for this data with classintervals as 0.00 - 0.04, 0.04 - 0.08, and so on.
(ii) For how many days, was the concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 parts per million?
Solution:
Taking class intervals as 0.00, - 0.04, 0.04, - 0.08, and so on, a grouped frequency table can be constructed as follows.
Concentration of SO2 (in p pm) |
Number of days (frequency ) |
0.00 - 0.04 |
4 |
0.04 - 0.08 |
9 |
0.08 - 0.12 |
9 |
0.12 - 0.16 |
2 |
0.16 - 0.20 |
4 |
0.20 - 0.24 |
2 |
Total |
30 |
.
The number of days for which the concentration of SO2 is more than 0.11 is the number of days for which the concentration is in between
0.12 - 0.16, 0.16 - 0.20, 0.20 - 0.24.
Required number of days = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8
Therefore, for 8 days, the concentration of SO2 is more than 0.11 ppm
