Q3 of 71 Page 207

Compute the median from the following frequency distribution.

First we’ll find the median class -

And median class is the class corresponding to cumulative frequency which is just greater than m.



Now,



And c.f just greater is65 corresponding to 40 - 50 (median class)




Where, l = lower limit of median class, N = sum of all frequencies, C = cumulative frequency of class preceding to median class, h = size of median class, f = frequency of median class.


here l = 40, N = 100, C = 35, h = 10 and f = 30.





Median = 45
