The given distribution shows the number of wickets taken by the bowlers in one - day international cricket matches:


Number of wickets



Less than 15



Less than 30



Less than 45



Less than 60



Less than 75



Less than 90



Less than 105



Less than 120



Number of bowlers



2



5



9



17



39



54



70



80



Draw a 'less than type' ogive from the above data. Find the median.


Lets plot a graph of ‘less than ogive’, taking upper limits of the class intervals on x - axis and cumulative frequencies on y - axis.



As we have N = 80 by the frequency table.


N/2 = 80/2 = 40


Mark 40 on y - axis and the corresponding point on x - axis would be the median.



The corresponding point on x - axis is 76.


Hence, median is 76.
