N = 60




Given, Median = 28.5


Then, median class is 20-30


l = 20, f = 20, F = 5 + f1, h = 10


Median = l +


28.5 = 20 + * 10


28.5 – 20 = * 10


8.5 =


f1 = 25 – 17


f1 = 8


Given, sum of frequencies = 60


= 5 + f1 + 20 + 15 + f2 + 5 = 60


= 5 + 8 + 20 + 15 + f2 + 5 = 60


f2 = 7


Therefore, f1 = 8 and f2 = 7
