## Maths Ex 14.2 Class 10 NCERT Solutions

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 1
Q1 The following table shows the ages of the patients admitted in a hospital during a year. Find the mode and the mean of the data given above. Compare and interpret the two measures of central tendency.

Solution :
First Calculating Mode
Maximum Frequency = 23
Modal Class = 35 – 45
Lower Limit of Modal Frequency (L) =35
Upper Limit of Modal Frequency (H) =
Size (h) = H – L = 45-35 = 10
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 23
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 21
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 14
We know the Formula to calculate of Mode
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Putting all the values in above formula of Mode,
we get
Mode = $$35\ +\ \frac{23\ -\ 21}{2 \times\ 23\ -\ 21\ -\ 14}\ \times\ 10$$
Mode = $$35\ +\ \frac{2}{11}\ \times\ 10$$
Mode = 35 + 1.8
Mode = 36.8 years

Now calculating Mean Using Step Deviation Method
let us take a = 40 and h = 10

Mean = $$a\ +\ \left(\frac{\sum{f_iu_i}}{\sum f_i}\right)\ \times\ h$$
Mean = $$40\ +\ \left(\frac{-37}{80}\right)\ \times\ 10$$
Mean = 35.37

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 2
Q2. The following data gives the information on the observed lifetimes (in hours) of 225 electrical components . Determine the modal lifetimes of the components.

Solution :
Maximum Frequency (F1) = 61
Modal Class = 60-80
Therefore , L = 60 and H = 80
Size (h) =H – L = 80 – 60 = 20
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 61
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 52
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 38
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Mode = $$60\ +\ \frac{61\ -\ 52}{2\ \times\ 61\ -\ 52\ -\ 38}\ \times\ 20$$
Mode = 60 + 5.625 = 65.625

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 3
Q3. The following data gives the distribution of total monthly household expenditure of 200 families of a village. Find the modal monthly expenditure of the families. Also, find the mean monthly expenditure

Solution :
Calculating Mode
Class with maximum frequency ( Modal Class ) = 1500 – 2000
L = 1500
H = 2000
Class Size (h) = H – L = 2000 – 1500 = 500
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 40
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 24
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 33
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Mode = $$1500\ +\ \frac{40\ -\ 24}{2 \times\ 40\ -\ 24\ -\ 33}\ \times\ 500$$
Mode = 1500 + 347.826
Mode = 1847.826

Now, Calculating Mean
let a = 2750

Mean = $$a\ +\ \left(\frac{\sum{f_iu_i}}{\sum f_i}\right)\ \times\ h$$
Mean = $$2750\ +\ \left(\frac{-35}{ 200}\right)\ \times\ 500$$
Mean = 2750 – 87.5
Mean = 2662.5

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 4
Q4. The following distribution gives the state-wise teacher-student ratio in higher secondary schools of India. Find the mode and mean of this data. Interpret the two measures.

Solution :
Calculating Mode
Class with maximum frequency ( Modal Class ) = 30 – 35
L = 30
H = 35
Class Size (h) = H – L = 35 – 30 = 5
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 10
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 9
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 3
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Mode = $$30\ +\ \frac{10\ -\ 9}{2 \times\ 10\ -\ 9\ -\ 3}\ \times\ 5$$
Mode = 30 + 0.625
Mode = 30.628

Now, Calculating Mean

Mean = $$a\ +\ \left(\frac{\sum{f_iu_i}}{\sum f_i}\right)\ \times\ h$$
Mean = $$32.5\ +\ \left(\frac{-23}{ 35}\right)\ \times\ 5$$
Mean = 32.5 – 3.28
Mean = 29.22

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 5
Q5. The given distribution shows the number of runs scored by some top batsmen of the world in one-day international cricket matches. Find the mode of the data.

Solution :
Calculating Mode
Maximum Frequency = 18
Modal Class = 4000 – 5000
Therefore , L = 4000 and H = 5000
Size (h) =H – L = 5000 – 4000 = 1000
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 18
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 4
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 9
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Mode = $$4000\ +\ \frac{18\ -\ 4}{2 \times\ 18\ -\ 4\ -\ 9}\ \times\ 1000$$
Mode = 4000 + 608.7
Mode = 4608.7

Exercise 14.2 Class 10 Maths Question 6
Q6. A student noted the number of cars passing through a spot on a road for 100 periods each of 3 minutes and summarised it in the table given below. Find the mode of the data :

Solution :
Calculating Mode
Maximum Frequency = 20
Modal Class = 40 – 50
Therefore , L = 40 and H = 50
Size (h) =H – L = 50 – 40 = 100
Frequency of Modal Class (F1) = 20
Frequency of Class proceeding the modal class (F0) = 12
Frequency of Class succeeding the modal Class (F2) = 11
Mode = $$L\ +\ \frac{F_1\ -\ F_0}{2F_1\ -\ F_0\ -\ F_2}\ \times\ h$$
Mode = $$40\ +\ \frac{20\ -\ 12}{2 \times\ 20\ -\ 12\ -\ 11}\ \times\ 10$$
Mode = 40 + 4.7
Mode = 44.7
