10th Class

  In such type of problems, a set of some figures usually 9 figures is given. This set may be divided into three classes each of 3 figures such that each class has some common properties in its figures. A candidate is required to identify the figures having common properties and then to choose an appropriate option from amongst the given four options.     EXAMPLE     A set of some figures is given. Group these figures into classes on the basis of their common properties and then choose the correct option.   (a) 1, 2, 9; 3, 4, 6; 5, 7, 8                        (b) 1, 7, 9; 2, more...

This chapter leads us with problems on various situations of blocks like as: 1.     Number of blocks in a solid. 2.     Construction of a box/dice. 3.     Identification of a face of a dice.   Types of Questions Ø  To count the total number of blocks in a solid, add the number of blocks in the first (bottom layer, second layer, third layer and so on. Ø  To identify a box formed by folding a given sheet of paper or by its net, focus on the opposite faces of the box. Ø more...

  Dot situation is a test to confirm a candidate's exactness in sense of various common and uncommon regions to the geometrical figures. In such type of problems a complex figure made up of geometrical figures such as triangle square, rectangle, circle, etc., consisting of one or more dot(s) is provided. A candidate is required to identify a figure from amongst the four options that has the same region(s) (common or uncommon or both) as the region(s) marked by dot(s) in the provider figure.     EXAMPLE     Choose a figure from amongst the four options that has the same conditions of placement:- dots as in Fig. (X). (a)             (b) more...

  In such type of problems, squares and equilateral triangles are constructed by joining its segments. There are three ways of asking questions from this chapter: 1.     To choose the only segment of a square. 2.     To choose three figures that are all the segments of a square. 3.     To choose three figures that are all the segments of an equilateral triangle.     EXAMPLE     1.         Select a figure from the given four options which fits into figure X to form a complete square.   (a) more...

This chapter deals with various types of two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures, their formation and their analysis.   Types of Questions Ø  Choose a figure whose components are given. Ø  Identify the components of a given figure. Ø  Formation of a three-dimensional figure from its net. Ø  Identifying an identical figure. Ø  Choosing a pattern with given components.     EXAMPLE    Find out which of the figures (a), (b), (c) and (d) can be formed more...

      Events   The subset E of a sample space is called events. There are different types of events which is defined below:               Impossible Events The events which will never occur is called impossible events. The empty set is also called impossible events.     Throwing a dice and getting 7 is an impossible events               Sure Events The events which will definitely occur is called sure events.     Throwing a dice and getting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 is a sure event               Simple Events The events having only one points of the sample space is called simple events. For example, in the more...

      Random Experiments   A experiment is said to be a random experiment if it has more than one possible outcome and it is not possible to predict the outcome in advance. For example, throwing a dice or tossing a coin is a random experiment.           Outcomes The possible results of a random experiment is called outcomes. For example, throwing a dice and getting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are the possible outcomes.           Sample Space The set of all possible outcome of a random experiment is called sample space. Each element of the sample space is called sample point. For example, when we throw a dice we get, then it is called sample space.  

      Introduction   In class previous classes we have studied about the probability as a measure of uncertainity of various phenomenon in our daily life. Normally we obtain the probability of an events as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to that of the total possible outcomes. This is called classical theory of probability. Up to class IXth we have studied statistical theory of probability. But the drawback of these theory is that it cannot be applied to the activities which have infinite numbers of outcomes. In this chapter we will study about this approach which is called axiomatic approach of probability. To understand this we have to understand the basic concept.  

      Mean Deviation                  Mean Deviation about Mean of a Raw Data Let \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}}{{x}_{3}},---,{{x}_{n}}\] be the n observation, then the mean of the data is given by: \[\overline{X}=\frac{{{x}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}+{{x}_{3}}+----+{{x}_{n}}}{n}\] \[\Rightarrow \,\overline{X}\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{X}_{k}}\Rightarrow \overline{X},=\frac{1}{n}}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{X}_{k}}}\] Then the deviation of the data from the mean is given by: \[\left| \left. {{x}_{1}}-\overline{X} \right|,\left| {{x}_{2}},-\left. \overline{X} \right|,\left| \left. {{x}_{3}}-\overline{X} \right|,---,\left| \left. {{x}_{n}}-\overline{X} \right| \right. \right. \right. \right.\] Now the mean deviation of the data is given by: Mean Deviation  \[=\,\Rightarrow M.D.=\frac{1}{n}\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{\left| \left. {{X}_{n}}-\overline{X} \right| \right.}\]                Mean Deviation about Mean of a Grouped Data Let \[{{x}_{1}},{{x}_{2}},{{x}_{3}},---,{{x}_{n}}\] be the n - observation and \[{{f}_{1}},{{f}_{2}},{{f}_{3}},---{{f}_{n}}\] be the corresponding frequencies of the data. Then the mean of the data is given by:   \[\overline{X}=\frac{{{x}_{1}}{{f}_{1}}+{{x}_{2}}{{f}_{2}}+----+{{x}_{n}}{{f}_{n}}}{{{f}_{1}}+{{f}_{2}}++---+{{f}_{n}}}\,\] Or, \[\overline{X}=\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{X}_{k}}}{{f}_{k}}}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{f}_{k}}}}\] Then the mean deviation is given by  \[\Rightarrow \,M.D.=\frac{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{f}_{k}}}\left| \left. {{X}_{k}}-\overline{X} \right| \right.}{\sum\limits_{k=1}^{n}{{{f}_{k}}}}\]   more...

      Introduction   Statistics is that branch of mathematics which deals with the collection and interpretation of data. The data may be represented in different graphical forms such as bar graphs, histogram, ogive curve, and pie chart. This representation of data reveals certain salient features of the data. These values of the data is called measure of central tendency. The various measure of central tendencies are mean, median and mode. A measure of central tendency gives us the rough idea of where data points are centered. But in order to make more accurate interpretation of central values of the data we should also have an idea of how the data are scattered around the measure of central tendency. Thus we can say that the measure of central tendency is not sufficient to give the complete information about a given data. There is another factor which more...
