frequencies.

b. Number of days: 46 ? ? 25 10 5

2. In a factory, there are 100 skilled, 150 semi-skilled and 250 unskilled workers. It has been observed
that on an average a unit length of a particular fabric is woven by a skilled worker in 2 hours, by a semi-
skilled worker in 3 hours and by an unskilled worker in 4 hours. After training of 2 years, the semi-skilled
workers are expected to become skilled and the unskilled workers to become semi-skilled. How much
less time will be required after 2 years of training for weaving the unit length of fabric by an average
worker?

3. Find the median of the following distribution and comment why is the median a more suitable measure
of central tendency than mean in this case? Also find quartile deviation.

deviations are 8 and 7. Obtain the standard deviation of the sample of size 150 obtained by
combining the two samples.
