Directions :
At a courier company, a daily report of parcels received for dispatch is prepared every evening, which classifies the parcels on the basis of their weights. The report of a certain day is as under :

Weight of parcel (in grams) (x)Number of parcels
Below 60060
Below 50058
Below 40054
Below 30035
Below 20022
Below 10010

35.How many parcels have weights in the range of 300 – 400 grams?
(a) 4
(b) 12
(c) 13
(d) 19

36.How many parcels have weights in the range of 200 – 300 grams?
(a) 10
(b) 12
(c) 13
(d) 19

37.In which of the following weight ranges, the number of parcels is the lowest?
(a) 100 – 200
(b) 200 – 300
(c) 400 – 500
(d) 500 – 600

38.The mean weight of parcels received on that particular day is :
(a) 226.78 g
(b) 251.67 g
(c) 284.28 g
(d) 302.16 g

Answer

Table :

Class interval (x)Number of parcels (f)Class mark (x)fx
0-1001050500
100-200121501800
200-300132503250
300 - 400193506650
400 - 50044501800
500 - 60025501100
Total∑ f = 60∑ fx = 15100

35. From table,

The number of parcels for the 300 – 400 range = 19 (54 - 35).

Hence, option (d) is the correct option.

36.From table,

The number of parcels for the 200 – 300 range = 13 (35 - 22).

Hence, option (c) is the correct option.

37.The lowest frequency is 2, which occurs in the 500 – 600 range.

Hence, option (d) is the correct option.

38. By formula,

Mean=fxf=1510060=251.67 g.\text{Mean} = \dfrac{\sum fx}{\sum f} \\[1em] = \dfrac{15100}{60} \\[1em] = 251.67 \text{ g.}

Hence, option (b) is the correct option.
