(i) Approximately 54% of the families earn between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 20,000. (ii) There are 70% families who earn more than Rs. 10,000. (iii) A family with highest income earns Rs. 29,500. (iv) Median income is between Rs. 10,000 and Rs. 14,999. Correct Answer (i), (ii) and (iv)
(i) Total number of families = 42 + 40 + 36 + 18 + 5 = 141
The total number of families earn between Rs.10,000 to Rs.20,000 = 40 + 36 = 76
Percent of families earn between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000 = (76/141) × 100 = 53.90 ≈ 54%
(ii) The total number of families earn more than Rs. 10,000 = 40 + 36 + 18 + 5 = 99
Total percent of families earn more than Rs. 10000 = (99/141) × 100 = 70.21% ≈ 70%
(iii) Maximum salary of a family = Rs. 30,000
(iv) Median income of the salary is between Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 14,999
∴ Statement (i), (ii) and (iv) is correct
