Question

The weights (in kg) of 30 students of a class are:

39, 38, 36, 38, 40, 42, 43, 44, 33, 33, 31, 45, 46, 38, 37, 31, 30, 39, 41, 41, 46, 36, 35, 34, 39, 43, 32, 37, 29, 26.

Prepare a frequency distribution table using one class interval as (30 – 35), 35 not included.

(i) Which class has the least frequency?

(ii) Which class has the maximum frequency?

Answer 1

First, we have to arrange the weights (in kg) of 30 students of a class in an ascending order.

= 26, 29, 30, 31, 31, 32, 33, 33, 34, 35, 36, 36, 37, 37, 38, 38, 38, 39, 39, 39, 40, 41, 41, 42, 43, 43, 44, 45, 46, 46

Now, we will draw the frequency table of the given data.

(i) Class first has the least frequency.

(ii) Class third has the maximum frequency.
