Q5 of 55 Page 349

Let us find the median of the weight from the following frequency distribution table of 70 students.

To find out median, we need to calculate cumulative frequency for the given data.

Let us make a table for that.



Here, n = 70, that is, n = even.


Since, n is even, median can be found out as:




Median = The mean of 35th and 36th observations


And we know that, 35th observation = 47 [ 35 comes between 32 and 44]


And 36th observation = 47 [ 36 comes between 32 and 44]


Median = Mean of 47 and 47




Median = 47


Thus, median = 47.
