General Instructions

  • All questions are compulsory.
  • Section A carries 1 mark each, Section B 2 marks, Section C 3 marks and Section D 5 marks.
  • Show all working for Sections B, C and D. Only final answers are given at the end — for full solutions, raise your doubts with your teacher.
Section A — Multiple Choice Questions 5 × 1 = 5 marks
1.
Cumulative frequency is the:
  • A.highest frequency
  • B.running total
  • C.class mark
  • D.range
2.
A "less than" ogive uses:
  • A.lower limits
  • B.upper class limits
  • C.class marks
  • D.frequencies
3.
The median is read from the:
  • A.histogram
  • B.ogive
  • C.bar graph
  • D.pie chart
4.
The last cumulative frequency equals:
  • A.$0$
  • B.$N$
  • C.the mode
  • D.the mean
5.
The two ogives intersect at the:
  • A.mean
  • B.median
  • C.mode
  • D.origin
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks) 4 × 2 = 8 marks
6.
For frequencies $3,5,7$, write the cumulative frequencies.
7.
If $N=40$, the median corresponds to which value?
8.
What letter denotes the total of all frequencies?
9.
At what value do we drop a perpendicular on a less-than ogive to find the median?
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks) 4 × 3 = 12 marks
10.
For classes $0$–$10,10$–$20,20$–$30$ with $f=4,6,10$, write the cumulative frequencies.
11.
If $N=50$, find $N/2$ and state which value the median corresponds to.
12.
The cumulative frequencies are $5,12,20,30$. Find the frequency of the 3rd class.
13.
Find the median class if the cumulative frequencies are $4,10,18,24$ ($N=24$).
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks) 2 × 5 = 10 marks
14.
Given less-than cumulative frequencies $<10:4,\ <20:10,\ <30:18,\ <40:24$, find the frequency distribution and $N$.
15.
For a distribution with $N=40$, median class $20$–$30$, cf before $=14$, frequency $=12$, class size $10$. Find the median.
