Question
Explain the meaning of the following terms: True Class Limits
Advertisements
Solution
True Class limits: When we group a number of variates together then the lowest value of the variate and the highest value of the variate form the class limits.
Let the class intervals for some grouped data be 10 - 20, 20 - 30, 30 - 40 etc. This is an exclusive frequency distribution. For the class 20 - 30, 20 is the lower limit, while 30 is the upper limit. Here the limits are actual and are called true class limits.

In a class test, 50 students obtained marks as follows:
| Marks obtained | 0 – 20 | 20 – 40 | 40 – 60 | 60 – 80 | 80 – 100 |

The observation 29, 32, 48, 50, x, x+2, 72, 78, 84, 95 are arranged in ascending order. What is the value of x if the median of the data is 63?
The median of 19 observations is 30. Two more observation are made and the values of these are 8 and 32. Find the median of the 21 observations taken together.
Hint Since 8 is less than 30 and 32 is more than 30, so the value of median (middle value) remains unchanged.
If the median of `x/5,x/4,x/2,x and x/3`, where x > 0, is 8, find the value of x.
Hint Arranging the observations in ascending order, we have `x/5,x/4,x/3,x/2,x Median= x/3=8.`
