The line through P(5, 3) intersects y-axis at Q.
(i) Write the slope of the line.
(ii) Write the equation of the line.
(iii) Find the co-ordinates of Q.
The following distribution represents the height of 160 students of school.
Height (in cm) | No. of Students |
140 – 145 | 12 |
145 – 150 | 20 |
150 – 155 | 30 |
155 – 160 | 38 |
160 – 165 | 24 |
165 – 170 | 16 |
170 – 175 | 12 |
175 – 180 | 8 |
Draw an ogive for the given distribution taking 2 cm = 5 cm of height on one axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the other axis. Using the graph, determine:
(i) The median height.
(ii) The interquartile range.
(iii) The number of students whose height is above 172 cm.
Given,
Height (in cm) | No. of Students | Cumulative frequency(c.f.) |
140 – 145 | 12 | 12 |
145 – 150 | 20 | 32 |
150 – 155 | 30 | 62 |
155 – 160 | 38 | 100 |
160 – 165 | 24 | 124 |
165 – 170 | 16 | 140 |
170 – 175 | 12 | 152 |
175 – 180 | 8 | 160 |
N = 160 |
Taking scale as 2 cm=5 cm on x-axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the y- axis, the Ogive is drawn as below:
(i) Median Height = value = value = 80th value = 157 cm
(ii) Lower quartile, Q1 = = value = 40th value = 152 cm.
Upper quartile, Q3 = = value = 120th value = 164 cm
Thus, Inter Quartile range = 164 - 152 = 12 cm
(iii) The number of students whose height is more than 172 cm = 160 - 142 = 18 students.
