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.)
