Study Notes

Median for Grouped Data

The median for grouped data is calculated using the formula: Median = l + (n/2 - cf) × h / f
n is the total frequency, l is the lower limit of the median class, cf is the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class, h is the class size, and f is the frequency of the median class

Example 1: Calculating Median

Given the values: n = 26.5, l = 60, cf = 22, f = 7, and h = 10
The median is calculated as: Median = 60 + (26.5 - 22) × 10 / 7 = 66.4

Example 2: Finding Median Height

A survey of 51 girls' heights (in cm) is conducted, and the data is obtained: Less than 140: 4, Less than 145: 11, Less than 150: 29, Less than 155: 40, Less than 160: 46, and Less than 165: 51
The class intervals are: Below 140, 140-145, 145-150, 150-155, 155-160, and 160-165
The frequency distribution table is constructed, and the median height is calculated using the formula: Median = 145 + (25.5 - 11) × 5 / 18 = 149.03

Mode for Grouped Data

The mode for grouped data is calculated using the formula: Mode = l + (f1 - f0) × h / (2f1 - f0 - f2)
l is the lower limit of the modal class, h is the size of the class interval, f1 is the frequency of the modal class, f0 is the frequency of the class preceding the modal class, and f2 is the frequency of the class succeeding the modal class

Example 3: Finding Mode

The wickets taken by a bowler in 10 cricket matches are: 2, 6, 4, 5, 0, 2, 1, 3, 2, 3
The frequency distribution table is constructed, and the mode is found to be 2
