Kerala Plus One Economics Chapter Wise Previous Questions Chapter 14 Presentation of Data
Question 1.
The table below shows the GDP growth rate at 93-94 prices. Present it in a frequency curve and make an inference from it. (March 2009)
Answer:
Draw a diagram by making Year on the x-axis and GDP on the y-axis.
Inference: The GDP growth rate shows frequent fluctuations. It increases first, then starts declining and reaches the minimum in the year 2002-2003. Then there is a sharp increase in 2003-04. Again in 2004-05, it slightly declines.
Question 2.

Answer:
Prepare appropriate questions.
Question 3.
Pick the odd one out and justify your answer. (Say 2009)
Histogram, Pie diagram, frequency curve, frequency polygon.
Answer:
Pie diagram. Others are related to frequency distribution.
Question 4.
The following table shows scores obtained by 50 students in the Model Examination: (Say 2009)
Answer the following questions.
1) Draw less than and more than ogive.
2) Show the intersection point and interpret the corresponding score.
Answer:
Less than cumulative frequency
More than cumulative frequency
The intersecting point gave the value 26.42. This value is the median.

Answer:
Vegetables = \(\frac{500}{800} \times 360^{\circ}\) = 225°
Meat = \(\frac{200}{800} \times 360^{\circ}\) = 90°
Eggs = \(\frac{100}{800} \times 360^{\circ}\) = 45°

Question 12.
While preparing a frequency distribution, your friend is confused about inclusive and exclusive classes. Help her to distinguish between them, with examples for each. (March 2013)
Answer:
Inclusive Method
In comparison to the exclusive method, the Inclusive Method does not exclude the upper-class limit in a class interval. It includes the upper class in a class. Thus both class limits are parts of the class interval. An example of the inclusive method of a frequency distribution is given below.
Exclusive Method
The classes, by this method, are formed in such a way that the upper-class limit of one class equals the lower class limit of the next class. In this way, the continuity of the data is maintained. That is why this method of classification is most suitable in the case of data of a continuous variable. Under the method, the upper-class limits excluded but the lower class limit of a class is included in the interval.
Question 13.
While explaining the parts of a table, your teacher says, “It narrates the content of the table. It has to be very clear and brief.” Identify the part of the table mentioned here. (March 2013)
