(a)
Ans:
An array is a systematic arrangement of objects, usually in rows and columns.

(b)
Make discrete frequency distribution from the given data,
1,2,3,2,1,2,1,3, 4,5,1,2,3,1,4,2, 2,3,2,1,4,4,4,2,1,

And find;
 Cumulative frequencies(C.F)
 Relative frequencies(R.F)
Ans:

No. Frequencies C.F R.F

1 7 7 7/25 = 0.28

2 8 15 8/25 = 0.32

3 4 19 4/25 = 0.16

4 5 24 5/25 = 0.2

5 1 25 1/25 = 0.04

Total 25 ----

Question no.02

(a) Find Geometric mean from the following data.

1, 2, 3,2,4,5,4,3,4,-1,4, 3,0,1,-3, 2,4
Solution:

 If data contains negative or zero value then Geometric mean (G.M) cannot be calculated.

(b) The weight of the 40 male students at a university is given in the following frequency table
Weight frequency C.F

118-126 3 3

127-135 5 3+5 =

136-144 9 8+9 =

145-153 12 17+12 =

154-162 5 29+5 =

163-171 4 34+4 =
 172-180 2
38+2 = sum of total
frequency..!

Calculate median and mode from the above data.

Solution:

MODE:
f m  f1
X̂  1  xh
 f m  f1    f m  f 2 

12  9
 145  8
(12  9)  (12  5)
= 145+(3/3+7)*8
= 145+(3/10)*8
= 145+24/10
= 147.4

MEDIAN:

X = L +h/f(n/2-c)

Where l=145, h=8, f=12, n/2=20 and c = 17

By putting values

=145+8/12(20-17)
=145+8/12*3
=145+8/4
=145+2
=147

Question no.03

(b) calculate range and coefficient of range,

0.035, 0.045, 0.031, 0.044, 0.032
Solution:
Xm=0.045
X0=0.031
Range: X m  X 0 = 0.045-0.031
Range = 0.014

Xm  X0
Coefficient of range: =
Xm  X0

= (0.045-0.031)/(0.045+0.031)
 = 0.014/0.076
Coefficient of range = 0.18

(c) Calculate an appropriate measure of dispersion for the following data.

Farm Size No. of Farms

(acre)
Bellow 40 394
41-80 461
81-120 391
121-160 334
161-200 169
201-240 113
241 and above 148

Solution:

Question solve with quartile deviation;;;

Quartile deviation = Q3 - Q1 / 2
