Question

24. Find the median wages of female workers engaged in housekeeping of a particular locality,
whose data are given below:
Wages (in )
Number of Female
Workers
3500-13
3800-12
4100-25
4500-17
5500-12
6500-15
7500-6​

Answer 1

Answer:

4300

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(x). (f). (cumulative frequency)

3500. 13. 13

3800. 12. 25

4100. 25. 50

4500. 17. 67

5500. 12. 79

6500. 15. 94

7500. 6. 100

therefore, n = 100

n is even

for even (n) median= 1/2{(n/2)th term+(n/2)+1th term)= 1/2{50th term+ 51th term}=1/2{4100+4500}

=1/2{8600}=4300

Answer 2

Answer--

4300

Step-by-step explanation:

(x). (f). (cumulative frequency)

3500. 13. 13

3800. 12. 25

4100. 25. 50

4500. 17. 67

5500. 12. 79

6500. 15. 94

7500. 6. 100

therefore, n = 100

n is even

for even (n) median= 1/2{(n/2)th term+(n/2)+1th term)= 1/2{50th term+ 51th term}=1/2{4100+4500}

=1/2{8600}=4300
