Frequency Distribution Table and Cumulative Frequencies Quiz

Study Notes

Calculating Medians

Formula for median: Median = l + (n/2 - cf) / f × h
Where:
- l is the lower limit of the median class
- cf is the cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class
- f is the frequency of the median class
- h is the class size
- n is the total number of observations

Examples of Median Calculations

Example 1: Finding the median height of girls with a given frequency distribution table
Example 2: Finding the values of x and y when the median is 525 and the total frequency is 100
Example 3: Finding the median, mean, and mode of the monthly consumption of electricity of 68 consumers
Example 4: Finding the values of x and y when the median is 28.5
Example 5: Finding the median age of 100 policy holders with a given frequency distribution table
Example 6: Finding the median length of 40 leaves of a plant with a given frequency distribution table
Example 7: Finding the median life time of 400 neon lamps with a given frequency distribution table
Example 8: Finding the median number of letters in 100 surnames with a given frequency distribution table
Example 9: Finding the median weight of 30 students with a given frequency distribution table

Important Points

Median is the middle value of a dataset when it is arranged in ascending order
Median divides the data into two equal parts, with 50% of the data below it and 50% above it
Median is a better representation of the average when the data is skewed or has outliers
