Find the median for the following data.
![]()
This is a grouped frequency distribution, in which median is calculated as follows.
We have the following table:

Here, we get total frequency, N = 30. So,
![]()
Since, N/2 = 15. Mark a cumulative frequency which is just greater than 15.
Here, it is 17. So, median class would be 15 – 20.
Median is given by

Where, l = lower limit of the median class = 15
N/2 = 15 (as calculated above)
m = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 7
f = frequency of the median class = 10
c = width of the median class = 5
Putting all these values in the formula, we get
![]()
⇒ ![]()
⇒ Median = 15 + 4 = 19
Thus, median is 19.
