Answer 1

Answer:

Wages                 3500    3800  4100  4500  5500  6500  7000

No. Of workers       13        12      25     17      12       15      6

Cumulative freq.     13        25      50     67      79       94      100

The total no. of women workers = 100

the median is the average of the 50th and the 51st woman

From the cumulative frequency:

The 50th woman earns = 4100

The 51st woman earns = 4500

The median = (4100 + 4500)/2 = 4300
