Q4 of 69 Page 7

The distribution below gives the weights of 30 students of a class. Find the median weight of the students.


We have n = 30


So,


The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 19 then the median class is 55 – 60 such that


the lower limit (l) = 55


cumulative frequency of the class preceding 55 – 60 (cf) = 13


frequency of the median class 55 – 60 =6,


class size (h) = 5


Using the formula,,we have



= 55 + 1.66


= 56.66


So, the median weight of the students is 56.66kg
