Given below are the marks obtained by 27 students in a test:

21, 3, 28, 38, 6, 40, 20, 26, 9, 8, 14, 18, 20, 16, 17, 10, 8, 5, 22, 27, 34, 2, 35, 31, 16, 28, 37.

(i) Using the class intervals 1-10, 11-20 etc. construct a frequency table.

(ii) State the range of these marks.

(iii) State the class mark of the third class of your frequency table.

Answer

(i) The frequency distribution table for given grouped data is :

ClassesTally MarksFrequency
1 - 10IIII III8
11 - 20IIII II7
21 - 30IIII I6
31 - 40IIII I6

(ii) Range = Highest mark - Lowest mark = 40 - 2 = 38.

Hence, range of marks = 38.

(iii) Class mark = Lower limit + Upper limit2\dfrac{\text{Lower limit + Upper limit}}{2}

Third class of frequency table = 21-30.

Substituting values we get :

Class mark = 21+302=512\dfrac{21 + 30}{2} = \dfrac{51}{2} = 25.5

Hence, class mark = 25.5
