Full Chapter Summary & Detailed Notes - Statistics Class 10 NCERT

Overview & Key Concepts

• Chapter Goal: Extend mean, median, mode to grouped data; cumulative frequency and ogives. Exam Focus: Calculations, interpretations. 2025 Updates: Data analysis in real life. Fun Fact: Statistics from 'state' for governance. Core Idea: Summarize large data. Real-World: Surveys, averages.
• Wider Scope: Data science foundation, research.

13.1 Introduction

• Builds on Class 9: Ungrouped to grouped data, graphs (bar, histogram, polygon).
• Measures of central tendency: Mean, median, mode for ungrouped; extend to grouped.
• Cumulative frequency: Distribution and curves (ogives).
• Importance: Handle large data meaningfully.

13.2 Mean of Grouped Data

• Mean \( \bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{\sum f_i} \), where \( x_i \) observations, \( f_i \) frequencies.
• For grouped: Use class marks \( x_i = \frac{\text{upper} + \text{lower}}{2} \).
• Direct Method: \( \bar{x} = \frac{\sum f_i x_i}{n} \). Suitable for small values.
• Assumed Mean Method: Choose a, \( d_i = x_i - a \), \( \bar{x} = a + \frac{\sum f_i d_i}{n} \). Reduces calculations.
• Step Deviation Method: \( u_i = \frac{x_i - a}{h} \), \( \bar{x} = a + h \frac{\sum f_i u_i}{n} \). For common h (class size).

Example 1: Marks of 30 Students

• Ungrouped mean: 59.3. Grouped (15 width): 62 (approximate).
• Direct: Table with fi xi.
• Assumed a=47.5, di, mean 62.
• Step h=15, ui, mean 62.

13.3 Mode of Grouped Data

• Mode: Most frequent value.
• For grouped: Modal class (highest fi).
• Formula: \( \text{mode} = l + \left( \frac{f_1 - f_0}{2f_1 - f_0 - f_2} \right) h \), l lower limit, f1 modal fi, f0 previous, f2 next, h size.
• Assumptions: Uniform distribution in modal class.

Example: Mode Calculation

• Data with modal class 20-30 (f=10), previous 8, next 7: Mode = 20 + (10-8)/(20-8-7)*10 = 20 + 4 = 24.

13.4 Median of Grouped Data

• Median: Middle value when arranged.
• For grouped: Cumulative frequency cf, find class where n/2 lies.
• Formula: \( \text{median} = l + \left( \frac{\frac{n}{2} - cf}{f} \right) h \), l lower, cf previous cum, f class freq, h size.
• Even n: Average of n/2 and n/2+1.

Example: Median

• n=50, n/2=25 in class 30-40 (cf=20 previous, f=15): Median=30 + (25-20)/15 *10 =30+3.33=33.33.

13.5 Graphical Representation of Cumulative Frequency Distribution

• Ogives: Less than (upper limits vs cf), more than (lower vs cf descending).
• Median: Intersection of ogives x-coordinate.
• Uses: Estimate medians, quartiles.

Example 2: Female Teachers Percentage

• Classes 15-25 etc., fi=6,11,7,4,4,2,1.
• Mean 39.71 by all methods.

Exercise 13.1-13.8

• Mean, mode, median calculations for various data.
• Ogives drawing, median from graph.

13.6 Summary

• Methods for mean, formulas for mode/median.
• Ogives for cumulative.

Key Themes & Tips

Derivations - Step by Step

• Mean Assumed: From direct, sum fi xi = sum fi (di +a) = sum fidi + a sum fi. /n = sum fidi/n +a.
• Step Deviation: di = h ui, sum fidi = h sum fiui, /n +a = h (sum fiui/n) +a.
• Mode: In modal, frequency drop proportion, assume triangle, height ratio gives position from l.
• Median: Position n/2, fraction in class (n/2 - cf)/f, times h from l.
