If the median of a series of data is 5050 and the sum of frequencies is 8080, what is the median class if the cumulative frequency just greater than N/2N/2 is 6060 corresponding to interval 40−6040-60?

  1. A.20−4020-40
  2. B.40−6040-60Correct answer
  3. C.60−8060-80
  4. D.30−5030-50

Solution

The median class is defined as the class interval whose cumulative frequency is greater than and closest to N/2N/2. Here N/2=80/2=40N/2 = 80/2 = 40. The cumulative frequency just greater than 4040 corresponds to the interval 40−6040-60.
