Using a graph paper, draw a histogram for the given distribution showing the number of runs scored by 50 batsmen. Estimate the mode of the data :

Runs scoredNo. of batsmen
3000 - 40004
4000 - 500018
5000 - 60009
6000 - 70006
7000 - 80007
8000 - 90002
9000 - 100004

Answer

Steps :

  1. Take 1 cm along x-axis = 1000 runs and 1 cm along y-axis = 4 (batsman).
  2. Construct rectangles corresponding to the given data.
  3. In highest rectangle, draw two st. lines AC and BD from corners of the rectangles on either side of the highest rectangle to the opposite corners of the highest rectangle. Let P be the point of intersection of AC and BD.
  4. Through P, draw a vertical line to meet the x-axis at M. The abscissa of the point M represents 4600.
Using a graph paper, draw a histogram for the given distribution showing the number of runs scored by 50 batsmen. Estimate the mode of the data. Measures of Central Tendency, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 10.

Hence, the required mode = 4600.
