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 features do you observe from this tabular representation?
Answer:
• Frequencies of class intervals 5 - 10 and 10 - 15 are equal, i.e., 11 each. It shows that maximum number of engineers have their residences at 5 to 15 km away from their work place.
• Frequencies of class intervals 20 - 25 and 25 - 30 are also equal, i.e., 1 each. It shows that minimum number of engineers have their residences at 20 to 30 km away from their work place.

(i) Construct a grouped frequency distribution table with classes 84 - 86, 86 - 88, etc.
(ii) Which month or season do you think this data is about?
(iii) What is the range of this data?
Answer:
iii) Range = Highest observation - Lowest observation
Range = 99.2 – 84.9
= 14.3
Question 4: The heights of 50 students, measured to the nearest centimetres, have been found to be as follows:

(i) Represent the data given above by a grouped frequency distribution table, taking the class intervals as 160 - 165, 165 - 170, etc.
(ii) What can you conclude about their heights from the table?
Answer:
i) As the lowest observation is 150 therefore we will start the class intervals with 150 i.e. 150 - 155.
As the highest observation is 173 therefore we will end the class intervals with 175 i.e. 170 - 175.
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:
