Main Concepts and Results

  • The information collected in term of numbers is called data.
  • Data are represented graphically to have a quick glance on them.
  • Data available in an unorganised form are called raw data.
  • The number of times a particular observation occurs in a given data is called its frequency.
  • When the data are large, they can be arranged in groups and each group is known as Class Interval or Class.
  • A table showing the frequencies of various observations or class intervals of a given data is called a Frequency Distribution table.
  • The upper value of a class interval is called its Upper Class Limit and the lower value of the class interval is called its Lower Class Limit
  • The difference between the upper class limit and lower class limit of a class is called the Width or Size of the class.
  • The difference between the lowest and the highest observation in a given data is called its Range.
  • Grouped data can be represented by a histogram
  • Histogram is a type of bar diagram, where the class intervals are shown on the horizontal axis and the heights of the bars (rectangles) show the frequency of the class interval, but there is no gap between the bars as there is no gap between the class intervals
  • Data can also be represented using a pie chart (circle graph). It shows the relationship between a whole and its parts.
  • There are certain experiments whose outcomes have an equal chance of occurring. Such outcomes are said to be equally likely.
  • Probability of an event =

, when the outcomes are equally likely.

Statements are true (T) or false (F).


Example 10: The central angle of the sectors in a pie chart will be a fraction of 360°.


Solution: True.


Example 11: On throwing a dice, the probability of occurrence of an odd number is 1/2.

Example 12: A pie chart is also called a pictograph.


Solution: False.


Example 13: The weekly wages (in Rs.) of 30 workers in a factory are 830, 835, 890, 810, 835, 836, 869, 845, 898, 890, 820, 860, 832, 833, 855, 845, 804, 808, 812, 840, 885, 835, 835, 836, 878, 840, 868, 890, 806, 840. Using tally marks, make a frequency distribution table
with class intervals 800 – 810, 810 – 820 and so on.


Solution:



Example 14: The pie chart gives the marks scored in an examination by a student in different subjects. If the total marks obtained were 540, answer the following questions–


                       (i) In which subject did the student score 105


                       (ii) How many more marks were obtained by the student in Mathematics than in Hindi?



Solution: 



Example 15: Draw a pie chart for the given data.


Favourite food Number of people
North Indian 30
South Indian 40
Chinese 25
Others 25


Solution: Total number of people = 120


We find the central angle for each sector



The pie chart is drawn adjacently.



Example 16: Draw a histogram for the frequency distribution table
given in Example 13 and answer the following questions.


(i) Which class interval has the maximum number of workers?
(ii) How many workers earn Rs. 850 and more?

35-45 5
45-55 5
55-65 4
65-75 0
75-85 8
85-95 2
Total 25


(i) Class interval which has the lowest frequency.
(ii) Class interval which has the highest frequency.
(iii) What is the class size of the intervals?
(iv) What is the upper limit of the fifth class?
(v) What is the lower limit of the last class?


Solution: (i) 65 – 75
(ii) 75 – 85
(iii) 10

Example 18: Application on problem solving strategy


Given below is a pie chart depicting the reason given by people who had injured their lower back. Study the pie chart and find the number of people who injured their back while either bending and lifting. A total of 600 people were surveyed.



Solution: Understand and explore the problem


  • What information is given in the question? The percentages of the most common reasons given by 600 people.
  • What are you trying to find? The total number of people out of 600 who have injured their back while bending and lifting.
  • Is there any information that is not needed? The percentages of other reasons except bending and lifting are not required.


Plan a strategy


  • You have learnt to solve questions dealing with percentages in earlier classes. Use the same method to solve this question.
  • 18% have injured their back while bending and 49% have injured their back while lifting so–


To find


The total number of people can be found by finding (18% + 49%) = 67% of 600.


Solve


Total percentage of people who injured their back while bending and lifting = 18% +49% = 67%. Number of people who injured their back while bending and lifting = 67% of 600



Hence, 402 people injured their back while bending and lifting


Revise


You can check the answer by finding the total number of people who injured their backs for reasons other than bending and lifting and then subtracting the answer from the total number of people.


Total percentage of people who injured their backs for
reasons other than bending and lifting = 12% +12% + 9%
= 33%


Number of such people = 33% of 600= 33/100 x 600


So, 600 –198 should give us the answer for our original question, and 600 –198 = 402 which is same as our answer. Hence our answer is correct.
