Find the values of a and b, if the sum of all the frequencies is 120 and the median of the following data is 55.
| Marks | 30 – 40 | 40 – 50 | 50 –60 | 60 – 70 | 70 –80 | 80 – 90 |
| Frequency | a | 40 | 27 | b | 15 | 24 |
उत्तर
Given: Median of observations = 55
And sum of frequencies = 120
| Marks `(f_i)` |
Frequency `(c.f.)` |
Cumulative frequency |
| 30 – 40 | a | a |
| 40 – 50 | 40 | a + 40 |
| 50 – 60 | 27 | a + 67 |
| 60 – 70 | b | a + b + 67 |
| 70 – 80 | 15 | a + b + 82 |
| 80 – 90 | 24 | a + b + 106 |
Now, `sumf_i` = 120 ......(Given)
⇒ a + b + 106 = 120
⇒ a + b = 14 ......(i)
Also, Median = 55
∴ Median class = 50 – 60
So, L = 50, h = 10, f = 27, c.f. = a + 40
Median = `L + ((N/2 - c.f.)/f) xx h`
55 = `50 + ((120/2 - (a + 40))/27) xx 10`
55 – 50 = `((60 - (a + 40))/27) xx 10`
5 = `((20 - a)/27) xx 10`
5 × 27 = 200 – 10a
135 = 200 – 10a
10a = 65
a = 6.5
Putting the value of a in equation (i), we get
6.5 + b = 14
b = 14 – 6.5 = 7.5
Hence, a = 6.5 and b = 7.5.

The lengths of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimeter, and the data obtained is represented in the following table:
| Length (in mm) | Number of leaves |
| 118 − 126 | 3 |
| 127 – 135 | 5 |
| 136 − 144 | 9 |
| 145 – 153 | 12 |
| 154 – 162 | 5 |
| 163 – 171 | 4 |
| 172 – 180 | 2 |
Find the median length of the leaves.
(Hint: The data needs to be converted to continuous classes for finding the median, since the formula assumes continuous classes. The classes then change to 117.5 − 126.5, 126.5 − 135.5… 171.5 − 180.5)

Electric buses are becoming popular nowadays. These buses have the electricity stored in a battery. Electric buses have a range of approximately 280 km with just charge. These buses are superior to diesel buses as they reduce brake wear and also reduce pollution. 'transport department of a city wants to buy some electric buses for the city. So, the department wants to know the distance travelled by existing public transport buses in a day. The following data shows the distance travelled by 50 existing public transport buses in a day.
