RD Sharma Class 8 Solutions Chapter 23 Data Handling I Ex 23.2 5
(i) What is the lower limit of class 50-60 ?
(ii) Find the class marks of the classes 40-50, 50-60.
(iii) What is the class size ?
Solution:
(i) Lower limit of class 50-60 = 50
(ii) Class marks of 40-50 = \(\frac { 40+50 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 90 }{ 2 }\)
= 45 and of 50-60 = \(\frac { 50+60 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 110 }{ 2 }\) =55
(iii) Class size is 10

Question 4.
Construct a frequency table for the following weights (in gm) of 35 mangoes using the equal class intervals, one of them is 40-45 (45 not included):
30,40,45,32,43,50,55,62,70,70,61,62, 53,52, 50,42,35,37,53,55,65,70, 73, 74,45, 46, 58, 59, 60, 62, 74, 34, 35, 70 ,68.
(i) What is the class mark of the class interval 40-45 ?
(ii) What is the range of the above weights ?
(iii) How many classes are there ?
Solution:
Smallest observation = 30
Greatest observation = 74
Range = 74 – 30 = 44
Now forming the distribution table

(i) Class mark of 40-45
= \(\frac { 40+45 }{ 2 }\) = \(\frac { 85 }{ 2 }\) = 42.5
(ii) Range = 74 – 30 = 44
(iii) Number of classes are 9

Question 5.
Construct a frequency table with class-intervals 0-5 (5 not included) of the following marks obtained by a group of 30 students in an examination :
0, 5, 7,10, 12,15, 20, 22, 25, 27, 8, 11, 17,3, 6, 9,17,19, 21, 29, 31,35,37,40,42, 45, 49, 4, 50, 16.
Solution:
Frequency distribution table.
