2 + 4 = 6

10-15

6 + 6 = 12

15-20

12 + 8 = 20

20-25

20 + 10 = 30

n = ∑F=30

i = lower limit of the median class = 15

n =∑F = total number of frequency = 15

So, the median class is 15-20

Cf = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 20

f = frequency of the median class = 8

h = class width = 5

Therefore, Median = l+(
