Question

If less than type and more than type ogive drawn for a data intersect at point (22.5,32)then median of the data is

Answer 1

Answer:

22.5 is a median of data

Answer 2

The median of the data is 22.5

• Cumulative frequency is defined as the running total of frequencies.
• Ogive curve is a type of frequency polygon that represents cumulative frequency distribution of grouped data.
• It is also called as cumulative frequency curve.
• To draw ogive curves, we take class on x - axis and cumulative frequencies on y - axis.
• We have two types of ogive curves - less than ogive curve and more than ogive curve.
• These two always intersect at a point.
• The abscissa of the point of intersection of these two curves gives median.
• The given point is (22.5, 32).
• Here, x - coordinate = 22.5.
• Therefore, median = 22.5.
