Statistics: Class 10 Mathematics (CBSE) important questions and practice

Statistics is chapter 13 of 14 in CBSE Class 10 Mathematics. Below are the topics the paper draws from, the question types that come up again and again, and a free practice test on this chapter alone.

Topics in this chapter

  • Mean of grouped data: direct, assumed mean and step-deviation methods
  • Mode of grouped data and the modal class
  • Median of grouped data and the median class
  • Cumulative frequency tables (less than and more than type)
  • Empirical relation 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean

What examiners usually ask

  • Find the mean of the following distribution using the step-deviation method
  • The median of the following data is 525; find the missing frequencies x and y if the total frequency is 100
  • Find the mode of the given frequency distribution of monthly consumption of electricity

Exam tip

Write the cumulative frequency column and identify the median class by n/2 before using the formula; a question with missing frequencies combines the total frequency equation with the median equation.
