Draw a less than type cumulative frequency curve for the following data and from the graph find the median:
Now, taking upper class limits on x- axis and their respective frequencies on y-axis we can draw its ogive as follows:
Now, we have n = 250
The cumulative Frequency just greater than is 140 then the median class is 300-400 such that
the lower limit (l) = 300
cumulative frequency of the class preceding 300-400 (cf) = 75
frequency of the median class 300-400 = 65,
class size (h) = 100
Using the formula,,we have
= 300 +76.9
= 376.9
=377 (approx.)
