Let m be the mid-point be the upper class limit of a continuous frequency distribution The lower class limit of the class is

  1. $2m+L$
  2. $2m-L$
  3. $m-L$
  4. $m+2L$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Mid point=$\dfrac{upper  limit+ lower  limit}{2}$

$\Rightarrow m=\dfrac{L+lower  limit}{2}$
$\Rightarrow Lower   limit=2m-L$

A Correct answer
Explanation

$2.5 - 7.5, 7.5 - 12.5, 12.5 - 17.5, 17.5 - 22.5, 22.5 - 27.5$


Given,

$5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50$

the class limit is given by,

$\dfrac{5}{2}=2.5$

$\dfrac{5+10}{2}=7.5$

$\dfrac{10+15}{2}=12.5$

$\dfrac{15+20}{2}=17.5$

$\dfrac{20+25}{2}=22.5$

$\dfrac{25+30}{2}=27.5$

Class mark of a particular class is 6.5 and class size is 3 then class interval is:

  1. $5-8$
  2. $6.5-9.5$
  3. $3.5-6.5$
  4. $4-7$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

Let the a be the lower limit of the class interval

Class size of the class interval =3
$\therefore$ Upper limit of the class interval$=a+3$
Class mark=6.5
$\therefore \dfrac{a+a+3}{2}=6.5$
$\Rightarrow 2a+3=6,5\times 2$
$\Rightarrow 2a=13-3$
$\Rightarrow 2a=10\Rightarrow a=\dfrac{10}{2}=5$
$\therefore a+3=5+3=8$
Hence class interval= $5-8$

The class marks of a frequency distribution are given as follow 15,20,25,...
The class corresponding to the class mark 20 is 

  1. $12.5-17.5$
  2. $17.5-22.5$
  3. $18.5-21.5$
  4. $19.5-20.5$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Width=5

Class marks=20
$\therefore  Lower\  limit=20-\dfrac{5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{40-5}{2}=\dfrac{35}{2}=17.5$
$Upper\  limit=20+\dfrac{5}{2}$
$\Rightarrow \dfrac{40+5}{2}=\dfrac{45}{2}=22.5$
Hence the class corresponding to the class mark 20 is $17.5-22.5.$

  3. C

  4. D
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

In group of small farmers, it would be minimum land available to each farmer.

So we will find the ration of total amount of land owned and operated by each group to the number of families.
From A,  $\dfrac {300}{100} = 3$
From B,  $\dfrac {300}{180} = 1.67$
From C,  $\dfrac{300}{30} = 10$
From D,  $\dfrac {300}{10} = 30$
B is the group of small farmers.
Option B is correct.
