Gujarat Board Textbook Solutions Class 11 Statistics Chapter 2 Presentation of Data Ex 2.2
Question 1.
There were 1400 students studying in a commerce college. Among them, 855 were boys and of them, 225 boys were in the second year. In the second year, the number of boys and the number of girls are equal. Among the 550 students of the first year, the proportion of number of boys and girls is 3:2. In the third year, number of boys is three times the number of girls. Represent the above information in a table.
Answer:
In the given data, there are two attributes :
- Year of study and
- Sex of students.
Classifying the data on the basis of these two attributes, we prepare a table as follows :
Table showing the number of students studying in a commerce college according to their year of study and sex
| Year of study | Sex | No. of students | |
| Boys | Girls | ||
| First year | 330 | 220 | 550 |
| Second year | 225 | 225 | 450 |
| Third year | 300 | 100 | 400 |
| Total | 855 | 545 | 1400 |
[Explanation :
No. of students in first year = 550.
The proporation of boys-girls was = 3: 2.
∴ No. of boys = \(\frac{3}{5}\) × 550 = 330
No. of girls = \(\frac{2}{5}\) × 550 = 220
No. of students in third year = 1400 – (550 + 450)
= 1400 – 1000 = 400
No. of boys is thrice the No. of girls, i.e., the proportion was 3:1.
∴ No. of boys = \(\frac{3}{4}\) × 400 = 300
No. of girls = \(\frac{1}{4}\) × 400 = 100]

Question 2.
1600 employees are working in an office. Among these employees the number of men exceeded the number of women by 15% of the total number of employees. The number of unmarried employees are 800 less than the number of married employees. The number of unmarried women is 195. Represent the above data in a suitable table.
Answer:
In the given data, there are two attributes:
- Sex of employees and
- Marital status.
According to these two attributes data is classified and table is prepared as follows :
Table showing the number of employees working in an office according to their sex and marital status
| Marital status | Sex | Total employees | |
| Male | Female | ||
| Married | 715 | 485 | 1200 |
| Unmarried | 205 | 195 | 400 |
| Total | 920 | 680 | 1600 |
[Explanation:
Suppose, the number of males = x.
∴ No. of females = 1600-x
No. of males = No. of females + 1600 x \(\frac{15}{100}\)
∴ x = 1600 – x + 240
∴ 2x = 1840
∴ x = 920
∴ No. of females = 1600 – 920 = 680
Suppose the number of married employees = x
∴ No. of unmarried employees = 1600 – x
Now, No. of unmarried employees = No. of married employees – 800.
∴ 1600 – x = x – 800
∴ 2x = 1600 + 800 = 2400
∴ x = 1200
∴ No. of unmarried employees = 1600 – 1200
= 400]

Question 5.
There were 1250 skilled and 400 unskilled workers in a private company in the year 2011. There were 220 female workers and of them, 140 were unskilled. In the year 2012, the number of skilled workers was 1475 and of them, 1300 were males. Out of 250 unskilled workers, 200 were males. In 2013, there were 1700 skilled and 50 unskilled workers. Out of total workers, 250 were females of them 240 were skilled. In the year 2014, there were 2000 workers and of them 2 % were unskilled. Out of total workers, 300 were females and of them, 10 were unskilled. Present the above data in the form of table.
Answer:
In the given data, there are three attributes:
- Year : 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014;
- Training: Skill, Unskilled;
- Sex: Male, Female.
According to these three attributes, the data is classified and table is prepared as follow:
Table showing the number of workers during the years 2011 to 2014, according to their training and sex
[Explanation : 2011 : Total number of workers = 1250 Skilled + 400 Unskilled = 1650
No. of female workers = 220
∴ No. of male workers = 1650-220 = 1430
No. of unskilled workers = 400; No. of unskilled female workers= 140
∴No. of unskilled male workers = 400 – 140 = 260
Now, No. of skilled female workers = 220 – 140 = 80
∴ No. of skilled male workers = 1430 – 260 = 1170
2012 : Total number of workers = 1475 skilled + 250 unskilled = 1725
No. of skilled workers 1475;
No. of skilled male workers = 1300
∴ No. of skilled female workers = 1475- 1300 = 175
No. of unskilled workers = 250,
No. of unskilled male workers = 200
∴ No. of unskilled female workers = 250 – 200 = 50
In this manner, calculate for 2013 and 2014.]
