i. Represent the information given above graphically.

Ans: The graph of the information presented above can be produced as follows by depicting causes on the x-axis and family fatality rate on the y-axis, and selecting an acceptable scale (1 unit = 5% for the y axis).

Causes


All the rectangle bars are of the same width and have equal spacing between them.


ii. Which condition is the major cause of womenโ€™s ill health and death worldwide?

Ans: Reproductive health issues are the leading cause of women's illness and mortality globally, affecting 31.8% of women.


iii. Try to find out, with the help of your teacher, any two factors which play a major role in the cause in (ii) above being the major cause

Ans: The factors are as follows:

a. Lack of medical facilities

b. Lack of correct knowledge of treatment


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:

Section 

Number of Girls Per Thousand Boys

Scheduled caste (SC)

Scheduled tribe (ST)

Non SC/ST

Backward districts

Non โ€“ backward districts

Rural

Urban 

940

970

920

950

920

930

910


i. Represent the information above by a bar graph.

Ans: The graph of the information presented above may be built by choosing an appropriate scale (1 unit = 100 girls for the y-axis) and representing section (variable) on the x-axis and number of girls per thousand boys on the y-axis.

No. of girls per thousand boys


Here, all the rectangle bars are of the same length and have equal spacing in between them.


ii. In the classroom discuss what conclusions can be arrived at from the graph.

Ans: The largest number of females per thousand boys (i.e., 970) is found in ST, while the lowest number of girls per thousand boys (i.e., 910) is found in urban areas. 

In addition, the number of females per thousand boys is higher in rural regions than in cities, in backward districts than in non-backward districts, and in SC and ST districts than in non-SC/ST districts.


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

Political Party

i. Draw a bar graph to represent the polling results.

Ans:

Political party


Here, all the rectangle bars are of the same length and have equal spacing in between them.

ii. Which political party won the maximum number of seats?

Ans: From the above graph it is clear that Political party โ€˜Aโ€™ won the maximum number of seats.


4. The length of\[40\] leaves of a plant are measured correct to one millimeter, and the obtained data is represented in the following table:


Length (in mm)

Number of Leaves

117.5-126.5

3

126.5-135.5

5

135.5-144.5

9

144.5-153.5

12

135.5-162.5

5

162.5-171.5

4

171.5-180.5

2


i. Draw a histogram to represent the given data.

Ans: The length of leaves is represented in a discontinuous class interval with a difference of \[1\] between them, as can be seen. To make the class intervals continuous, \[\dfrac{1}{2} = 0.5\] must be added to each upper class limit and \[0.5\] must be subtracted from the lower class limits.


Length (in mm)

Number of Leaves

117.5-126.5

5

162.5-171.5

4

171.5-180.5

2


A discontinuous class interval


The above histogram may be built using the length of leaves on the x-axis and the number of leaves on the y-axis.

On the y-axis, one unit symbolises two leaves.


ii. Is there any other suitable graphical representation for the same data?

Ans: Frequency polygon is another good graphical representation of this data.


iii. Is it correct to conclude that the maximum number of leaves are 153 mm long? Why?

Ans: No, because the maximum number of leaves (i.e.\[12\]) has a length of \[144.5{\text{mm}}\] to \[153.5{\text{mm}}\] It is not necessary for all of them to be \[153{\text{mm}}\]long.


5. The following table gives the life times of neon lamps: 


Length (in Hours)

Number of Lamps

300 - 400

14

400 - 500

56

500 - 600

60

600 - 700

86

700 - 800

74

800 - 900

62

900 - 1000

48


i. Represent the given information with the help of a histogram.

Ans: The histogram of the given data may be produced by plotting the life duration (in hours) of neon lamps on the x-axis and the number of lamps on the y-axis. Here,1

Lamps


Here, 1 unit on the y-axis represents 10 lamps.


ii. How many lamps have a lifetime of more than \[700\] hours?

Ans: It may be deduced that the number of neon lamps with a lifetime more than \[700\]is equal to the sum of the numbers of neon lamps with lifetimes of \[700,800\]and \[900\]. As a result, there are \[184\] neon bulbs with a lifetime of more than \[700\] hours \[(74 + 62 + 48 = 184)\].

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.

Ans: We can find the class marks of the given class intervals by using the following formula.

\[{\text{Class mark  = }}\dfrac{{{\text{Upper class limit  +  Lower class limit}}}}{2}\]

Section A

Section B

The frequency polygon can be constructed as follows, with class markings on the x-axis and frequency on the y-axis, and an appropriate scale \[(1{\text{ unit  =  3 for the y - axis}})\].

The frequency polygon


It can be observed that the performance of students of section โ€˜Aโ€™ is better than the students of section โ€˜Bโ€™ in terms of good marks.

lower limit is 1, so to make class interval continuous 0.5 needed to be added in each

limit.

Exercise 14.3 Class 9 NCERT Solutions Question 1

The first question of exercise 14.3 is about a survey of causes for women's death. A set of three questions were given to solve using the data. It is very easy for students to understand and answer. It is a short answer type of question. Students can show it on the graph by taking values on the x-axis and y-axis.

 

14.3 Maths Class 9 Question 2

The next question of Ex 14.3 Class 9 is data about the percentage of girls and boys in various castes. Based on the tabular data, students need to represent in a bar graph and need to write conclusions by finding cumulative frequency. Then it is necessary to find the median by putting values.

 

Chapter 14 Exercise 14.3 Question 3

The third question of 14.3 Class 9 has given the data about political parties and their seats. Students are asked to represent the data using a bar graph. And the next question is to find the majority of seats the party has won and which party it is? This can be found using the mean value. Students can understand and substitute the formula of the mean using the upper limit and lower limit.

 

Chapter 14.3 Maths Class 9 Question 4

The next question of Exercise 14.3 Chapter 14 Class 9 is a long answer type question. Three questions were given under the data. By referring to NCERT Solutions Class 9 Maths pdf, students can easily convert the data into continuous and answer the remaining in detail.

Ex 14.3 Class 9 Question 6

The sixth question of ex 14.3 Maths Class 9 is about the representation of polygon. Students need to find cumulative frequency first. Then finding the median is helpful to move further. Now calculate the class mark and prepare a table. From that table, students need to find the mode using the formula.

 

Ex 14.3 Class 9 Solutions Question 7

It is a similar question to represent the data using a polygon. As the given data is continuous, it is easy to find the cumulative frequency, and thereby they can represent the data easily. Even though these sums are easy to solve, students should be attentive while copying data. Otherwise, the answer will be wrong.

 

Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Exercise 14.3 Question 8

It is also a short answer type question for which the data of children who are playing in the park was given. As continuous data with equal intervals were provided, it is easy to calculate the values and represent them in the histogram.

 

Chapter 14 Exercise 14.3 Question 9

The last question of Exercise 14.3 Class 9 NCERT Solutions is the data taken from the telephone directory. Two questions were followed by the data for the students to answer. The first is to represent the data into a histogram and then finding the greatest interval.

 

For solving all these questions, Class 9 Maths Chapter 14 Exercise 14.3  will help the students to get practised and understand the logic.
