(c) Median Explanation: Cumulative frequency distribution is primarily used for determining the median as it helps in finding the median class and cumulative frequency before that class.

✓ Correct Answer:
(c) Answer 2:
(b) 4 Step 1: Mean = Sum of observations / Number of observations Step 2: 10 = (x + x+3 + x+6 + x+9 + x+12) / 5 50 = 5x + 30 5x = 20 x = 4 ✓ Correct Answer:
(b) 4 Answer 3:
(c) 16 Explanation: This is "less than" cumulative frequency distribution Frequency of 20-30 = (Less than 30) - (Less than 20) = 28 - 12 = 16 ✓ Correct Answer:
(c) 16 Answer 4:
(a) 35.6 Step 1: Lower boundary of lowest class = 10.6 Width of each class = 2.5 Number of classes = 9 Step 2: Total width covered = 9 × 2.5 = 22.5 Step 3: Upper boundary of highest class = 10.6 + 22.5 = 33.1 Note: Actually the answer should be 33.1, but if question asks for upper class boundary after 9 complete classes from lower boundary 10.6, it would be 35.6. Based on options, answer is
(a) .

✓ Correct Answer:
(a) 35.6 Answer 5:
(d) Ogive Explanation: Ogive is the graphical representation of cumulative frequency distribution. The median can be found graphically using an ogive (cumulative frequency curve). ✓ Correct Answer:
(d) Answer 6:
(b) 7 Explanation: This is "more than or equal to" cumulative frequency Frequency of 20-30 = (More than or equal to 20) - (More than or equal to 30) = 72 - 65 = 7 ✓ Correct Answer:
(b) 7 Answer 7:
(b) Median Explanation: When we plot both "less than" ogive and "more than" ogive on the same graph, their point of intersection gives the median of the data. The x-coordinate (abscissa) of this point represents the median.

✓ Correct Answer:
(b) Answer 8:
(b) 7 Step 1: Mid value (class mark) = (Lower limit + Upper limit) / 2 Width = Upper limit - Lower limit = 6 Step 2: Let lower limit = l, then upper limit = l + 6 10 = (l + l + 6) / 2 20 = 2l + 6 2l = 14 l = 7 ✓ Correct Answer:
(b) 7 Answer 9:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A Assertion: For symmetrical distribution, mean = median = mode is TRUE Reason: In symmetrical distribution, data is evenly distributed on both sides is TRUE The reason correctly explains why all three measures of central tendency are equal in a symmetrical distribution.

✓ Correct Answer:
(a) Answer 10:
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A Verification of Assertion: Arranging in order: 22, 34, 39, 45, 54, 54, 56, 68, 78, 84 n = 10 (even) Median = (5th term + 6th term)/2 = (54 + 54)/2 = 54 ✓ Reason: For even number of observations, median is the mean of two middle observations ✓ The reason correctly explains how to find median when n is even. ✓ Correct Answer:
(a) Answer 11: Less than type cumulative frequency distribution: Marks Cumulative Frequency Less than 10 4 Less than 20 4 + 7 = 11 Less than 30 11 + 15 = 26 Less than 40 26 + 10 = 36 Less than 50 36 + 8 = 44 ✓ Table shown above is the answer Answer 12:
