  1. The number of students absent in a school was recorded every day for about 80 days and the median was found to be 46. Due to mishandling, some data was lost. The available data was written in the form of the table below. The missing observations x1 and x2 are

                Days        10-20     20-30    30-40    40-50    50-60    60-70    70-80        Total

  1. The constituents of a chemical mixture had been classified according to their weights. The constituents were heated and kept aside for a couple of weeks. The median weight in the first weighing was recorded as 20.83 gm while in the second weighing it was 17.35 gm. It was later found that some frequencies a and b in the first weighing and x and y in the second were missing. It was known that 3a = x and 2b = y. The respective values of a and b are

Convert the distribution above to a less than type cumulative frequency distribution, and draw its ogive.

  1. During the medical check-up of 35 students of a class, their weights were recorded as follows:

Find the median length of the leaves.
(Hint: The data needs to be converted to continuous classes for finding the median, since the formula assumes continuous classes. The classes then change to 117.5 − 126.5, 126.5 − 135.5… 171.5 − 180.5)
