  3. Reproductive health conditions

Question 2
The following data on the number of girls (to the nearest ten) per thousand boys in different sections of Indian society is given below
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 14 exercise 14.3 Q2
(i) Represent the information above by a bar graph.
(ii) In the classroom discuss what conclusions can be arrived at from the graph
Solution:
Class 9 maths Statistics - NCERT Solutions Chapter 14
It can be observed that maximum number of girls per thousand boys (i.e., 970) is for ST and minimum number of girls per thousand boys (i.e., 910) is for urban.
Also, the number of girls per thousand boys is greater in rural areas than that in urban areas, backward districts than that in non-backward districts, SC and ST than that in non-SC/ST.

Question 3:
Given below are the seats won by different political parties in the polling outcome of a state assembly elections

Solution:
Class 9 maths Statistics - NCERT Solutions Chapter 14
We may find that political party 'A' won maximum number of seats.

Question 4:
The length of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to one millimeter, and theObtained data is represented in the following table
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 14 exercise 14.3 Q4
(i) Draw a histogram to represent the given data. [Hint: First make the class intervals Continuous]
(ii) Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data?
(iii) Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?
Solution:
It can be observed that the length of leaves is represented in a discontinuous class interval having a difference of 1 in between them. Therefore, ½=.5 has to be added to each upper class limit and also have to subtract 0.5 from the lower class limits so as to make the class intervals continuous.
Class 9 maths Statistics - NCERT Solutions Chapter 14
Taking the length of leaves on x-axis and the number of leaves on y-axis, the histogram of this information can be drawn as above.
Here, 1 unit on y-axis represents 2 leaves.
(ii) Other suitable graphical representation of this data is frequency polygon.
(iii) No, as maximum number of leaves (i.e., 12) has their length in between 144.5 mm and 153.5 mm. It is not necessary that all have their lengths as 153 mm

Question 5
The following table gives the life times of neon lamps:
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 14 exercise 14.3 Q5
(i) Represent the given information with the help of a histogram.
(ii) How many lamps have a life time of more than 700 hours?

Solution:
(i)
Class 9 maths Statistics - NCERT Solutions Chapter 14
(ii) Number of lamps having lifetime of more than 700 hours =74+62+48=184

Question 6
The following table gives the distribution of students of two sections according to the marks obtained by them:
ncert solutions for class 9 maths chapter 14 exercise 14.3 Q6
Represent the marks of the students of both the sections on the same graph by two frequency polygons. From the two polygons compare the performance of the two sections.
Solution
Class Marks can calculated as = (Lower Limit+ Upper limit)/2

Class 9 maths Statistics - NCERT Solutions Chapter 14
Red line Represent Section B
Blue line represent Section A
From the graph we can see performance of students of section 'A' is better than the students of section 'B' as for good marks.
