Question 5:
Following table shows the points of each player scored in four games:
(i) Find the mean to determine A’s average number of points scored per game.
(ii) To find the mean number of points per game for C, would you divide the total points
by 3 or by 4? Why?
(iii) B played in all the four games. How would you find the mean?
Answer:
(i) A’s average number of points =
(ii) To find the mean number of points per game for C, we will divide the total points by 3
because C played 3 games.
(iv) The best performer will have the greatest average among all. Now we can observe
that the average of A is 12.5 which is more than that of B and C. Therefore, A is the best
performer among these three.

Exercise 3.2
Question 1:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
Find the mode and median of this data. Are they same?
Answer:
19, 25, 23, 20, 9, 20, 15, 10, 5, 16, 25, 20, 24, 12, 20
5, 9, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19, 20, 20, 20, 20, 23, 24, 25, 25
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of
times. Median of a given data is the middle observation when the data is arranged in an
ascending or descending order.
As there are 15 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data will be the 8th
observation.
Hence, median = 20
Also, it can be observed that 20 occurs 4 times (i.e., maximum number of times).
Question 2:
Find the mean, mode and median of this data. Are the three same?
Answer:
Mean =
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of
times and the median of the given data is the middle observation when the data is
arranged in an ascending or descending order.
As there are 11 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data will be the 6th
observation.
Median = 15
Also, it can be observed that 15 occurs 3 times (i.e., maximum number of times).
Question 3:
38, 42, 35, 37, 45, 50, 32, 43, 43, 40, 36, 38, 43, 38, 47

32, 35, 36, 37, 38, 38, 38, 40, 42, 43, 43, 43, 45, 47, 50
(i)
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of
times and the median of the given data is the middle observation when the data is
arranged in an ascending or descending order.
As there are 15 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data will be the 8th
observation.
Hence, median = 40
Also, it can be observed that 38 and 43 both occur 3 times (i.e., maximum number of
times).
(ii)
Question 4:
Find the mode and median of the data: 13, 16, 12, 14, 19, 12, 14, 13, 14
Answer:
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of
times and the median of the given data is the middle observation when the data is
arranged in an ascending or descending order.
As there are 9 terms in the given data, therefore, the median of this data will be the 5th
observation.
Hence, median = 14
Also, it can be observed that 14 occurs 3 times (i.e., maximum number of times).
Question 5:
Answer:
(i) True
Mode of a given data is that value of observation which occurs for the most number of
times. Therefore, it is one of the observations given in the data.
(ii) False
(iii) True
The median of the given data is the middle observation when the data is arranged in an
ascending or descending order.
(iv) False
Exercise 3.3
Question 1:
Use the bar graph (see the given figure) to Answer the following Questions.
Answer:
(a) Since the bar representing cats is the tallest, cat is the most popular pet.
Question 2:
Read the bar graph (see the given figure) which shows the number of books sold by a
bookstore during five consecutive years and Answer the Questions that follow:
(i) About how many books were sold in 1989? 1990? 1992?
(ii) In which year were about 475 books sold? About 225 books sold.
(iv) Can you explain how you would estimate the number of books sold in 1989?
Answer:
(i) In 1989, 175 books were sold. In 1990, 475 books were sold. In 1992, 225 books were
sold.
(ii) From the graph, it can be concluded that 475 books were sold in the year 1990 and
225 books were sold in the year 1992.
(iii) From the graph, it can be concluded that in the years 1989 and 1992, the number of
books sold were less than 250.
(iv) From the graph, it can be concluded that the number of books sold in the year 1989
Question 3:
Number of children in six different classes are given below. Represent the data on a bar
graph.
(i) Which class has the maximum number of children? And the
minimum?
(ii) Find the ratio of students of class sixth to the students of class
eight.
Answer:
(a) We will choose a scale as 1 unit = 10 children because we can represent a more clear
difference between the number of students of class 7th and that of class 9th by this scale.
(b)
(i) Since the bar representing the number of children for class fifth is the tallest, there
are maximum number of children in class fifth. Similarly, since the bar representing the
number of children for class tenth is the smallest, there are minimum number of children
in class tenth.
(ii) The number of students in class sixth is 120 and the number of students in class
eighth is 100.
Therefore, the ratio between the number of students of class sixth and the number of
Question 4:
The performance of students in 1st Term and 2nd Term is given. Draw a double bar graph
choosing appropriate scale and Answer the following:
(i) In which subject, has the child improved his performance the most?
Answer:
(i) There was a maximum increase in the marks obtained in Maths. Therefore, the child
has improved his performance the most in Maths.
(ii) From the graph, it can be concluded that the improvement was the least in S.
Science.
(iii) From the graph, it can be observed that the performance in Hindi has gone down.
Question 5:
(i) Draw a double bar graph choosing an appropriate scale. What do you infer from the
bar graph?
Answer:
The double bar graph represents the number of people who like watching and
participating in different sports. It can be observed that most of the people like watching
and participating in cricket while the least number of people like watching and
participating in athletics.
(ii) From the bar graph, it can be observed that the bar representing the number of
people who like watching and participating in cricket is the tallest among all the bars.
Hence, cricket is the most popular sport.
(iii) The bars representing watching sport are longer than the bars representing
participating in sport. Hence, watching different types of sports is more preferred than
participating in the sports.
Question 6:
Take the data giving the minimum and the maximum temperature of various cities given
in the following table:
Plot a double bar graph using the data and Answer the following:
(i) Which city has the largest difference in the minimum and maximum temperature on
the given date?
(ii) Which is the hottest city and which is the coldest city?
(iii) Name two cities where maximum temperature of one was less than the minimum
temperature of the other.
(iv) Name the city which has the least difference between its minimum and the
maximum temperature.
Answer:A double bar graph for the given data is constructed as follows.
(i) From the graph, it can be concluded that Jammu has the largest difference in its
minimum and maximum temperatures on 20.6.2006.
(ii) From the graph, it can be concluded that Jammu is the hottest city and Bangalore is
the coldest city.
For Bangalore, the maximum temperature was 28ºC, while minimum temperature of
both cities, Ahmedabad and Jaipur, was 29ºC.
(iv) From the graph, it can be concluded that the city which has the least difference
between its minimum and maximum temperatures is Mumbai.
