. Find the median class for the following data given below Number of cars


0 - 10 10 - 20 20 - 30 30 - 40 40 - 50 50 - 60 60 - 70 70 - 80 Frequency 7 9 13 21 12 15 4 12

A: 30 - 40

B: 40 - 50

C: 50 - 60

D: 60 - 70

 

Best Answer

Explanation:-

To find the median class of the given data, find the cumulative frequency by adding the frequency.

firstly ,  find the sum of frequencies denoted byf

Next,  find ⅀f /2 and check the cumulative frequency which is nearest to or greater than this value. 

The corresponding class are going to  be the median class.

To find the median class:

First add total number of frequencies.

f = 7+ 9+ 13+ 21+ 12+ 15+ 4+ 12

f = 93

⅀f /2= 93/2

= 46.5

Final answer:

Hence, the correct option (A) i.e. 40-50.
