Free Statistics 01 Practice Test - 10th Grade
Question 1
Class mark of a class is _____
Upper limit + lower limit
upper limit + lower limit2
upper limit - lower limit2
upper limit - lower limit
SOLUTION
Solution : B
Class mark is the midpoint of a class interval.
Therefore, its formula is given by upper limit + lower limit2.
Question 2
The mean of the following distribution is ____.

15.2
15.35
15.55
16

=15.55
Question 3
If the mean of the following data is 17 then the value of p is
xi10p182125fi1015799
SOLUTION
Solution :xififixi1010100p1515p187126219189259225
∑fi=50
∑fixi = 640+15p
Given mean=17
17 = 640+15p50
Solving, we get p = 14
Question 4
If the median of the following data is 50, then find p.

SOLUTION
Solution : D
Class FrequencyCumulativeFrequency0 - 20101020 - 4071740 - 60163360 - 80p33+p80 -100841+p
Since median is 50, median class is 40-60.
Using
Median=l+[n2−cff]×h,
Here,n=41+p,
⟹ n2=(41+p)2
Now, 50=40+[(41+p)2−1716×20]
⟹10=[(41+p−34)216×20]
⟹10=[(7+p)16×2×20]
Simplifying, we get (7+p)16=1
7+p=16
p=9
Question 5
Mode is
Most frequent value
Least frequent value
Middle most value
Average value
SOLUTION
Solution : A
Mode is the most frequently observed value
Question 6
In the fromula for mode of a grouped data ,
mode =l+[t1−t02f1−f0−f2]×h ,
where symbols have their usual meaning f1 represents
Frequency of Modal class
Frequency of the class preceding the modal class
Frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
Frequency of median class
SOLUTION
Solution : A
In the formula for mode, f1 represents the frequency of the modal class.
Question 7
The class mark for a class interval while calculating the mean is its upper limit.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : B
The class mark is the midpoint of the lower and upper limits of a class. It is calculated by taking the average of the upper and lower limits i.e.
Class mark = Upper limit+Lower limit2
Question 8
If the preceding and succeeding classes of the modal class have the same frequency, then the mode will be at the midpoint of the modal class.
True
False
SOLUTION
Solution : A
The formula for the mode is as follows.
Mode=l+(f1−f02f1−f0−f2)×h
l= lower boundary of the modal class
h= size of the modal class interval
f1= frequency of the modal class.
f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f2= frequency of the class succeeding the modal class
If the preceding and succeeding classes have the same frequency, then f0=f2=f(say).Then the equation reduces to
Mode=l+(f1−f2f1−f−f)×h
Mode=l+(f1−f2(f1−f))×h
Mode=l+12×h, which is the midpoint of the modal class.∴ If the preceding and succeeding classes of the modal class have the same frequency, then the mode will be at the midpoint of the modal class.
Question 9
∑fx = 5x + 2, ∑f = 12. If the mean of the distribution is 6, what is the value of x?
12
14
15
18
SOLUTION
Solution : B
We know Mean = ∑fx∑f
Hence, 5x+212 = 6
⇒ 5x + 2 = 12 × 6
⇒ 5x = 72 – 2 = 70
⇒ x = 14
Question 10
Use the empirical relationship and find the value of mode when the value of median and mean are 6 and 7 respectively.
SOLUTION
Solution : A
We know that,
3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
or
Mode = 3 Median - 2 Mean
= 3×6−2×7
= 18 - 14
= 4
Therefore, mode = 4
