Find the mean, mode and median of the following data:

Let us make the table for above data and containing cumulative frequency and mid-values for each data



MEAN


We know, that





MODE


In the given data,


The maximum class frequency is 30. So, the modal class is 30-40.


Lower limit(l) of modal class = 30


Class size(h) = 40 - 30 = 10


Frequency(f1) of modal class = 30


Frequency(f0) of class preceding the modal class = 18


Frequency(f2) of class succeeding the modal class = 20


And we know,



Substituting values, we get




MEDIAN


In this case,


Sum of all frequencies, n = 100



Now, we know the median class is whose cumulative frequency is greater than and nearest to .


As, Cumulative frequency greater than and nearest to 50 is 63, the median class is 30 - 40.


Median


where l = lower limit of median class,


n = number of observations,


cf = cumulative frequency of class preceding the median class,


f = frequency of median class,


h = class size


In this case,


l = 30


n = 100


cf = 33


f = 30


h = 10


Putting values, we get,


Median
