Marks Distribution Dea9Fb
1. **Problem Statement:**
Given the data of marks and the number of students scoring more than those marks, we need to:
i) Convert the distribution into class intervals and draw a histogram.
ii) Calculate the mean mark.
iii) Find the median mark.
iv) Find the range.
2. **Convert to Class Intervals:**
The data shows marks more than a certain value. We can form class intervals by considering the marks as lower boundaries:
- 0-9, 10-19, 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, 70-79, 80-89
3. **Frequency Calculation:**
Frequency for each class = Number of students scoring more than lower limit - Number scoring more than upper limit:
- 0-9: 50 - 46 = 4
- 10-19: 46 - 40 = 6
- 20-29: 40 - 33 = 7
- 30-39: 33 - 25 = 8
- 40-49: 25 - 15 = 10
- 50-59: 15 - 8 = 7
- 60-69: 8 - 3 = 5
- 70-79: 3 - 0 = 3
- 80-89: 0 - 0 = 0
4. **Mean Calculation:**
Mean formula: $$\bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i}$$
Where $f_i$ is frequency and $x_i$ is class midpoint.
Class midpoints:
- 0-9: 4.5
- 10-19: 14.5
- 20-29: 24.5
- 30-39: 34.5
- 40-49: 44.5
- 50-59: 54.5
- 60-69: 64.5
- 70-79: 74.5
- 80-89: 84.5
Calculate $\sum f_i x_i$:
- $4 \times 4.5 = 18$
- $6 \times 14.5 = 87$
- $7 \times 24.5 = 171.5$
- $8 \times 34.5 = 276$
- $10 \times 44.5 = 445$
- $7 \times 54.5 = 381.5$
- $5 \times 64.5 = 322.5$
- $3 \times 74.5 = 223.5$
- $0 \times 84.5 = 0$
Sum of frequencies $\sum f_i = 4+6+7+8+10+7+5+3+0 = 50$
Sum of $f_i x_i = 18 + 87 + 171.5 + 276 + 445 + 381.5 + 322.5 + 223.5 + 0 = 1925$
Mean: $$\bar{x} = \frac{1925}{50} = 38.5$$
5. **Median Calculation:**
Median class is where cumulative frequency reaches half of total frequency (25).
Cumulative frequencies:
- 0-9: 4
- 10-19: 10
- 20-29: 17
- 30-39: 25
Median class is 30-39.
Median formula:
$$\text{Median} = L + \left(\frac{\frac{N}{2} - F}{f}\right) \times h$$
Where:
- $L = 30$ (lower boundary of median class)
- $N = 50$ (total frequency)
- $F = 17$ (cumulative frequency before median class)
- $f = 8$ (frequency of median class)
- $h = 10$ (class width)
Calculate:
$$\text{Median} = 30 + \left(\frac{25 - 17}{8}\right) \times 10 = 30 + \frac{8}{8} \times 10 = 30 + 10 = 40$$
6. **Range Calculation:**
Range = Highest mark - Lowest mark
From data, lowest mark = 0, highest mark = 80
Range = $80 - 0 = 80$
**Final answers:**
- Mean mark = 38.5
- Median mark = 40
- Range = 80
Histogram can be drawn using the class intervals and frequencies calculated.
