Solution

  1. The probability of getting a head = 120/200 = 12/20 = 3/5
  2. Range = 5 – (-8) = 5 + 8 = 13 oC
    1. True
    2. False
    3. False
    4. False

    2. statistics
    3. heights
    4. fraction
    1. (d)
    2. (c)
    3. (b)
    4. (a)
  3. Let the probability of red apples be n
    n=No of favourable outcome/No of possible outcome
    No of red apple=4
    No of possible outcome=7
    P(n) =47 [ There are in all 7 apples cut of which 4 are red.]
  4. (i) Entertainment programmes are viewed the most.
    (ii) none is equal.
  5. Construct a frequency table with equal class intervals, taking the first of the class intervals as 610-630, where 630 is not included.
    Wages
    (in Dollars)
    610-630630-650650-670670-690690-710710-730

    1.  For 540 marks, the central angle = 360°
      ∴ For 105 marks, the central angle =360540×105=70 hence, the student scored 105 marks in Hindi.
    2. Marks obtained by the students in Mathematics
      =90360×540=135
      Marks obtained by the students in Hindi = 105. hence, the student obtained 135 – 105 = 30 marks more in Mathematics than in Hindi.
    3. Some of the central angles for Social Science and Mathematics.
      = 65° + 90°
      = 155°
      Sum of the central angles for Science and Hindi.
      = 80° + 70°
      = 150° hence, the sum of the marks obtained in Social Science and Mathematics is more than in Science and Hindi.
    1. Sales of branch B2 for both years = 75 + 65 = 140
      Sales of branch B4 for both years = 85 + 95 = 180
      Required ratio = 140/180 = 7/9 = 7:9
    2. Average sales of all the six branches (in thousand numbers) for the year 2000 = 1/6 × (80 + 75 + 95 + 85 + 75+70) = 80
    3. Total sales of branch B6 for both the years = 70+ 80 = 150
      Total sales of branch B3 for both the years = 95 + 110 = 205
      Required percentage =(150205×100)%=73.17%
