MAT5007 - Module 1 Problem Set

This document contains 16 practice problems related to statistical analysis. Some of the problems involve calculating measures of central tendency like the mean, median, and mode from frequency distributions. Other problems involve calculating other descriptive statistics like range, quartiles, mean deviation, standard deviation, variance, skewness, kurtosis, and percentages. The problems cover a range of statistical concepts and require calculating these measures from grouped or ungrouped data.

Practice Problems-1
_____________________
1. A certain number of salesmen were appointed in different territories and the following data were
compiled from their sales reports
Sales 4-8 8-12 12-16 16-20 20-24 24-28 28-32 32-36 36-40
(Thousands
Rs.)
No. of 11 13 16 14 ? 9 17 6 4
salesmen

If the average sales is believed to be Rs. 19920, then find missing frequency.
2. Calculate the mean and median for the following statistical distribution
Value Less than 100-200 200-300 300-400 400 and total
100 above
Frequency 50 90 158 68 134 500

3. Eight coins were tossed together and number of heads resulting was noted. The operation was
repeated 256 times and the frequency distribution of the number of heads is given below
No. of 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
heads
Frequency 1 9 26 59 72 52 29 7 1

Calculate the median.


4. The following table gives the distribution of marks secured by some students in a certain
examination:
Marks 0-20 21-30 31-40 41-50 51-60 61-70 71-80
No.of 42 38 120 84 48 36 31
students

Find (i) median marks


(ii) the percentage of failure, if minimum for pass is 35 marks.

5. An incomplete frequency distribution is given as follows:


Variable 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 Total
Frequency 12 30 ? 65 ? 25 19 230

You are given that the median value is 46.


i. Find all missing frequencies
ii. Calculate the arithmetic mean
6. The mean salary paid to 1000 employees of an establishment was found to be Rs. 180.40. Later on,
after disbursement of salary, it was discovered that the salary of two employees was wrongly
entered as Rs. 297 and Rs.165. Their correct salaries were Rs. 197 and Rs. 185. Find the correct
arithmetic mean.

7. Find the mean and mode of the following data:

8. Calculate the Mean deviation from mean for the following data:
Marks 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70

No.of students 6 5 8 35 7 6 3

9. Find the range, all three quartiles, quartile deviation, coefficient of dispersion, mean deviation
about mean, standard deviation and variance for the following distribution:

frequency 5 16 13 7 5 4

11. A distribution consists of 25 measurements; it was found that the mean and standard deviation are
36 cm and 12 cm. After these results were calculated, it was noticed that 2 measurements were
wrongly recorded as 60 cm and 36 cm, instead of 40 cm and 3 cm. find the corrected values of the
mean and standard deviation.
12. Lives of two modes of refrigerators recorded in a received survey are given in the following table.
Find the average life of each model. Which model shows more uniformity?

Life (no. of 0-2 2-4 4-6 6-8 8-10 10-12


years)
Model A 5 16 13 7 5 4
Model B 2 7 12 19 9 1
