Question

pls answer correctly​

Answer 1

Given : A stopwatch was used to  find the time that it took a  group of students to run 100  m.

Time  (in sec)  0-20 20-40 40-60 60-80 80-100

No. of  students   8     10      13          6            3

To Find : How many students finished the race within 1 minute?

(i)18

(ii)37

(iii)31

(iv)8​

Solution:

mean time taken by a student to finish the race = (10*8 + 30*10+50*13+70*6+90*3)/40

= (8 + 30 + 65 + 42 + 27)/4

= 172/4

= 43 secs

40-60  is modal class ( as 13 is max frequency in that class)

 hence upper limit of modal class = 60  

The construction of cumulative frequency table is useful in determining the Median

Modal class and median class = 40 - 60

The sum of lower limits of median class and modal class is

40 + 40 = 80

Time  (in sec)    f               cf

0-20                8                 8

20-40              10                18

40-60              13                31

60-80               6                37

80-100              3                40

1 minute = 60 sec

Time less than 60 sec  = 31 Students

31  students finished the race within 1 minute
