| Total | 100 | 3,940 | 191,900 |
(a) Mean
(b) Median
. The first c.f. that is at least 50 is 72, so the median class is 40-50 (, c.f. before , ).
(c) First quartile
. The first c.f. at least 25 is 28, so the class is 20-30 (, c.f. before , ).
(d) Standard deviation
Result: Mean = 39.4, Median = 42.67, = 25, S.D. = 19.15 marks.

Find the correlation coefficient from the following data.
Marks in population 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 Marks in health 65 67 66 70 71 72 69 68
Answer
Let = marks in population and = marks in health, .
| 65 | 65 | 4,225 | 4,225 | 4,225 |
| 66 | 67 | 4,422 | 4,356 | 4,489 |
| 67 | 66 | 4,422 | 4,489 | 4,356 |
| 68 | 70 | 4,760 | 4,624 | 4,900 |
| 69 | 71 | 4,899 | 4,761 | 5,041 |
| 70 | 72 | 5,040 | 4,900 | 5,184 |
| 71 | 69 | 4,899 | 5,041 | 4,761 |
| 72 | 68 | 4,896 | 5,184 | 4,624 |
| 548 | 548 | 37,563 | 37,580 | 37,580 |
Karl Pearson's coefficient of correlation:
Numerator:
Denominator:
and the same for , so
Result: . There is a moderate positive correlation between marks in population and marks in health: students who score well in one tend to score fairly well in the other.

Following table gives number of workers and their daily wage. Calculate average wage, median wage, mode and standard deviation of the wage from the table.
Daily wages Rs. 60-80 80-100 100-120 120-140 140-160 160-180 No of workers 15 20 25 15 10 5
Answer
Class width , .
| Wage (Rs) | f | Mid-value | c.f. | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 60-80 | 15 | 70 | 1,050 | 73,500 | 15 |
| 80-100 | 20 | 90 | 1,800 | 162,000 | 35 |
| 100-120 | 25 | 110 | 2,750 | 302,500 | 60 |
| 120-140 | 15 | 130 | 1,950 | 253,500 | 75 |
| 140-160 | 10 | 150 | 1,500 | 225,000 | 85 |
| 160-180 | 5 | 170 | 850 | 144,500 | 90 |
| Total | 90 | 9,900 | 1,161,000 |
(a) Average (mean) wage
(b) Median wage
, so the median class is 100-120 (, c.f. before , ).
(c) Mode
The highest frequency is 25, so the modal class is 100-120 (, , , ).
(d) Standard deviation
Result: Mean = Rs 110, Median = Rs 108, Mode = Rs 106.67, S.D. = Rs 28.28.

Calculate the median from the following data.
Marks Obtained 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 60-70 70-80 No. of Students 10 12 14 20 15 5 4
Figure: A frequency distribution table with class intervals and number of students.
Answer
Calculation of Median
| Marks Obtained | No. of Students () | Cumulative Frequency () |
|---|---|---|
| 10–20 | 10 | 10 |
| 20–30 | 12 | 22 |
| 30–40 | 14 | 36 |
| 40–50 | 20 | 56 |
| 50–60 | 15 | 71 |
| 60–70 | 5 | 76 |
| 70–80 | 4 | 80 |
| Total |
Median position:
The cumulative frequency just greater than 40 is 56, so the median class is 40–50.
For the median class:
- Lower limit,
- Preceding cumulative frequency,
- Frequency of median class,
- Class width,
Median marks = 42
