There will be unnecessary, extra or irrelevant material. The Statistical notations/symbols are not well-written i.e., without using MathType software. The Assignment will be copied from handouts, internet or from any other students file. Copied material (from handouts, any book or by any website) will be awarded ZERO MARKS. It is PLAGIARISM and an Academic Crime. The medium of the course is English. Assignment in Urdu or Roman languages will not be accepted.

Only then you will get good marks.

Objective(s) of this Assignment:


The assignment is being uploaded to strengthen the students BASIC concepts about statistics. Practice for arranging and displaying already collected data into an organized form, using given statistical method. Make students able to understand the concept of measures of central tendency.

Assignment.1 (Lessons 1-10) Question 1: Marks: 5+5=10 i) From the table given below, Find (a) Class boundaries (b) How many men fall above the age of 50? (c) How many men fall between the age group of 60 and 69? Age Group (Men) 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 Total Answer: (a) Age Group (Men) 20-29 30-39 40-49 50-59 60-69 70-79 Total f 5 4 5 8 12 16 50 C.B 19.5-29.5 29.5-39.5 39.5-49.5 49.5-59.5 59.5-69.5 69.5-79.5 f 5 4 5 8 12 16 50

(b) Men fall above the age of 50= 8+12+16 = 36 (c) Men fall between the age group of 60 and 69= 12 (ii) Write down the following figure in the form of frequency table and also find the relative frequency.

8 No. of Students 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0 3-5 6-9 10-13 14-16 17-19 A es o S d ts g f tu en

Answer: . Ages 3-5 6-9 10-13 14-16 17-19 Frequency 2 5 7 3 2 Relative frequency 2/19 5/19 7/19 3/19 2/19

Question 2: Marks: 5+5=10 (i)Calculate the mode from the following continuous distribution. Height 57.5-60.0 60.0-62.5 62.5-65.0 65.0-67.5 67.5-70.0 70.0-72.5 72.5-75.0 Total Number (f) 6 26 190 281 412 127 38 1080

Answer: From the table we locate modal class frequency as 412 and hence we get f m = 412, f1 = 281, f 2 = 127, l = 67.5, h = 2.5 X =l+

f m f1 h f m f1 ) + ( fm f2 ) 412 281 2.5 ( 412 281) + ( 412 127 ) 131 2.5 131 + 285

= 67.5 + = 67.5 + = 68.29

(ii). Use the stem and leaf plot to answer these questions. Statistics Test Scores Stem Leaf 6 1 1 4 6 7 8 7 2 3 5 7 9 8 1 3 5 6 6 7 7 8 9 9 0 0 3 4 6 8 9 9 10 0 0 a) What is the best test score? b) How many students took the test? c) How many students scored 90? d) What is the lowest score? e) Find the difference between the high and low scores. Answer: a) The best test score =100 b) The students took the test = 30 c) The students scored 90 = 2 d) The lowest score= 61 e) The difference between the high and low scores = 39 Question 3: Marks: 3+3+4=10

(i) Find the median for the following discrete frequency distribution. Number of pupils per class 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Total Number of Classes 1 0 1 3 6 9 8 10 7 45

Answer: Number of pupils per class 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Total Number of Classes 1 0 1 3 6 9 8 10 7 45


n

Cumulative frequency 1 1 2 5 11 20 28 38 45

= ( i =1

)th value 2 45 + 1 =( )th value 2 = 23rd value 23rd value in Cumulative frequency is against 26 Hence the median is 26. (ii) Calculate the weighted mean from the following data Item Food Rent Clothing Fuel and light Other items Expenditure 290 54 98 75 75 Weights 7.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5

f +1

Answer: We calculate the weighted mean as below: Item Expenditure Food 290 Rent 54 Clothing 98 Fuel and light 75 Other items 75 Total WX = 2542.5 = Rs.203.4 Xw = W 12.5 Weights 7.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 12.5 xw 2175.0 108.0 147.0 75.0 37.5 2542.5

(iii) A man gets a rise of 10% in salary at the end of his first year of service and further of 20 % and 25 % at the end of the second and third year respectively. The rise in each case is calculated on his salary at the beginning of the year. To what annual percentage increase in this equivalent? Sol Suppose the initial salary of the man = 100 At the end of First year Second year Third year G.M = 3 110 120 125 = 118.16 Annual percent increase = 118.16-100 = 18.16% Increment 10% 20% 25% Salary (Y) 110 120 125
