) Construct the cumulative frequency distribution of the following distribution, find median
Answers
We are given the cumulative frequency distribution. So, we first construct a frequency table from the given cumulative frequency distribution and then we will make necessary computation to compute median.
Class intervals Frequency (f) Cumulative frequency (c.f.)
20-30 4 4
30-40 12 16
40-50 14 30
50-60 16 46
60-70 20 66
70-80 16 82
80-90 10 92
90-100 8 100
N=∑f
i
=100
Here, N=∑f
i
=100∴

N
=50
We observe that the cumulative frequency just greater than

N
=50 is 66 and the corresponding class is 60−70.
So, 60−70 is the median class.
∴l=60,f=20,F=46 and h=10
Now,
Median =l+
