Question 1:

The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recoded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O,
A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common, and which is the rarest, blood group among these students?

Answer:

It can be observed that 9 students have their blood group as A, 6 as B, 3 as AB, and 12 as O.
Therefore, the blood group of 30 students of the class can be represented as follows.

Blood group	Number of students
A	9
B	6
AB	3
O	12
Total	30

It can be observed clearly that the most common blood group and the rarest blood group among these students is O and AB respectively as 12 (maximum number of students) have their blood group as O, and 3 (minimum number of students) have their blood group as AB.

Q 2, Ex. 14.2, Page No 245 - Statistics - NCERT Maths Class 9th

Question 2:

The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work were found as follows:
5 3 10 20 25 11 13 7 12 31
19 10 12 17 18 11 32 17 16 2
7 9 7 8 3 5 12 15 18 3
12 14 2 9 6 15 15 7 6 12
Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with class size 5 for the data given above taking the first interval as 0 – 5 (5 not included). What main feature do you observe from this tabular representation?

Answer:

It is given that a grouped frequency distribution table of class size 5 has to be constructed. Therefore, the class intervals will be 0 − 5, 5 − 10, 10 − 15, 15 −20…
By observing the data given as above, a grouped frequency distribution table can be constructed as follows.

Distance (in km)	Tally mark	Number of engineers
0 − 5		5
5 − 10		11
10 −15		11
15 − 20		9
20 − 25		1
25 − 30		1
30 − 35		2
Total		40

It can be observed that there are very few engineers whose homes are at more than or equal to 20 km distance from their work place. Most of the engineers have their workplace up to 15 km distance from their homes.

84 − 86	1
86 − 88	1
88 − 90	2
90 − 92	2
92 − 94	7
94 − 96	6
96 − 98	7
98 − 100	4
Total	30

(ii) It can be observed that the relative humidity is high. Therefore, the data is about a month of rainy season.

(ii) What can you conclude bout their heights from the table?

Answer:

(i) A grouped frequency distribution table has to be constructed taking class intervals 160 − 165, 165 − 170, etc. By observing the data given above, the required table can be constructed as follows.

Height (in cm)	Number of students (frequency )
150 − 155	12
155 − 160	9
160− 165	14
165 − 170	10
170 − 175	5
Total	50

Q 5, Ex. 14.2, Page No 245 - Statistics - NCERT Solutions Class 9th Maths

Question 5:

A study was conducted to find out the concentration of sulphur dioxide in the air in parts per million (ppm) of a certain city. The data obtained for 30 days is as follows:
0.03 0.08 0.08 0.09 0.04 0.17
0.16 0.05 0.02 0.06 0.18 0.20
0.11 0.08 0.12 0.13 0.22 0.07
0.08 0.01 0.10 0.06 0.09 0.18
0.11 0.07 0.05 0.07 0.01 0.04
(i) Make a grouped frequency distribution table for this data with class intervals as 0.00 – 0.04, 0.04 – 0.08, and so on.
(ii) For how many days, was the concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 parts per million?

Answer:

Taking class intervals as 0.00, −0.04, 0.04, −0.08, and so on, a grouped frequency table can be constructed as follows.

Concentration of SO₂ (in ppm)	Number of days (frequency )
0.00 − 0.04	4
0.04 − 0.08	9
0.08 − 0.12	9
0.12 − 0.16	2
0.16 − 0.20	4
0.20 − 0.24	2
Total	30

The number of days for which the concentration of SO₂ is more than 0.11 is the number of days for which the concentration is in between 0.12 − 0.16, 0.16 − 0.20, 0.20 − 0.24.
Required number of days = 2 + 4 + 2 = 8
Therefore, for 8 days, the concentration of SO₂ is more than 0.11 ppm.

Answer:

A grouped frequency table of class size 0.5 has to be constructed, starting from class interval 2 − 2.5.
Therefore, the class intervals will be 2 − 2.5, 2.5 − 3, 3 − 3.5…
By observing the data given above, the required grouped frequency distribution table can be constructed as follows.

Lives of batteries (in years)	Number of batteries
