|
Price (Rupees)
|
20 less than | 20 – 40 | 40 – 60 | 60 – 80 | 80 – 100 |
| No. of articles | 140 | 100 | 80 | 60 | 20 |
उत्तर

Class
(Prices in Rupees) |
Frequency (Number of articles) (fi) |
Cumulaive frequency less than the upper limit |
| 20 less than | 140 | 140 → cf |
| 20 – 40 | 100 → f | 240 |
| 40 – 60 | 80 | 320 |
| 60 – 80 | 60 | 380 |
| 80 – 100 | 20 | 400 |
| N = 400 |
From the above table, we get
∑fi = N = 400
∴ `N/2 = 400/2 = 200`
∴ The cumulative frequency greater than (or equal to) 200 is 240.
∴ 20 – 40 is the median class.
Now, L = 20, f = 100, cf = 140, h = 20
Now, Median = `L + [(N/2 - cf)/f] xx h`
`= 20+ ((400/2-140)/100) xx20`
`= 20 + ((200 - 140)/100) xx 20`
= `20 + (60/100) xx 20`
= 20 + 12
= Rs. 32
Hence, the median of the prices is Rs. 32.
