Question 1.
The blood groups of 30 students of Class VIII are recorded as follows:
A, B, O, O, AB, O, A, O, B, A, O, B, A, O, O
A, AB, O, A, A, O, O, AB, B, A, O, B, A, B, O.
Represent this data in the form of a frequency distribution table. Which is the most common, and which is the rarest, blood group among these students?
Answer:
The frequency means the number of students having same blood group. We will represent the data in table:

Blood GroupNumber of Students (Frequency)
A9
B6
O12
AB3

Most common Blood Group (Highest frequency): O
Rarest Blood Group (Lowest frequency): AB

Question 2.
The distance (in km) of 40 engineers from their residence to their place of work w ere found as follows:

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:
The given data is very large. So, we con-struct a group frequency of class size 5. Therefore, class interval will be 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-20 and so on. The data is represented in the table as:
JAC Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 - 1
The classes in the table are not overlap¬ping. Also, 36 out of 40 engineers have their house below 7. 20 km of distance.

Question 3.
The relative humidity (in %) of a certain city for follows: a month of 30 days was as

98.198.699.290.386.5
95.392.996.394.295.1
89.292.397.193.592.7
95.197.293.395.297.3
96.292.184.990.295.7
98.397.396.192.189

(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:
(i) The given data is very large. So, we construct a group frequency of class size 2. Therefore, class interval will be 84-86, 86-88, 88-90, 90-92 and so on. The data is represented in the table as below:

Relative humidity (in %)Frequency
84-861
86-881
88-902
90-922
84-861
86-881
88-902
90-922
92-947
94-966
96-987
98-1004
Total30

(ii) The humidity is very high in the data which is observed during rainy season. So, it must be rainy season.
(iii) Range of data = Maximum value of data – Minimum value of data = 99.2 – 84.9 = 14.3%

162160161173166
161159162167168
159158153154159

(i) Represent the data given above by a grouped frequency distribution table, taking the class intervals as 150-155,155-160, etc. soon.
(ii) What can you conclude about their heights from the table?
Answer:
(i) The data with class interval 150-155, 155-160 and so on is represented in the table as:

Height (in cm)No. of Students (Frequency)
150-15512
155-1609
160-16514
165-17010
170-1755
Total50

(ii) From the given data, it can be concluded that 35 students i.e. more than 50% are shorter than 165 cm.

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:
JAC Class 9 Maths Solutions Chapter 14 Statistics Ex 14.2 - 2
(i) Make a grouped frequency distribution table for this data with class intervals as 0.00-0.04, 0.04-0.08, and so on.
(ii) For how many days, was the concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 parts per million?
Answer:
(i) The data with class interval 0.00 – 0.04, 0.04 – 0.08 and so on is represented in the table as:

Concentration of sulphur dioxide in air (in ppm)Frequency
0.00 – 0.044
0.04 – 0.089
0.08 – 0.129
0.12-0.162
0.16-0.204
0.20 – 0.242
Total30

(ii) 2 + 4 + 2 = 8 days have the concentration of sulphur dioxide more than 0.11 parts per million.

Question 7.
The value of π upto 50 decimal places is given below:
3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510
(i) Make a frequency distribution of the digits from 0 to 9 after the decimal point.
(ii) What are the most and the least frequently occurring digits?
Answer:
(i) The frequency is given as follows:

DigitsFrequency
02
15
25
38
44
55
64
74
85
98
Total50

(ii) The digit having the least frequency occurs the least and the digit with highest frequency occurs the most. 0 has frequency 2 and thus occurs least frequently while 3 and 9 have frequency 8 and thus occur most frequently.

Question 8.
