Find the median of the observation in the table given
11.5
12.5
14.0
14.5
Explanation
Median = L1 + (\(\frac{Ef}{fm}\)) - fo
\(\frac{\sum f}{2}\)
= \(\frac{20}{2}\)
= 10, L1 = 10.5, fo = 6, fm = 5
Median = 10.5 + \(\frac{(10 - 6)}{5}\)5
= 10.5 + 4
= 14.5
\(\frac{\sum f}{2}\)
= \(\frac{20}{2}\)
= 10, L1 = 10.5, fo = 6, fm = 5
Median = 10.5 + \(\frac{(10 - 6)}{5}\)5
= 10.5 + 4
= 14.5
