Obtain the median for the following frequency distribution:
| x : | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 |
| f : | 8 | 10 | 11 | 16 | 20 | 25 | 15 | 9 | 6 |
उत्तर
Calculation of Median
| x | f | c.f. |
| 1 | 8 | 8 |
| 2 | 10 | 18 |
| 3 | 11 | 29 |
| 4 | 16 | 45 |
| 5 | 20 | 65 |
| 6 | 25 | 90 |
| 7 | 15 | 105 |
| 8 | 9 | 114 |
| 9 | 6 | 120 |
| N = 120 |
Here, N = 120, so, `"N"/(2)` = 60.
The cumulative frequency just greater than `"N"/(2)` i.e., 60 is 65. The value of the variate corresponding to 65 is 5.
Hence, median = 5.

For a certain frequency distribution, the value of Mean is 101 and Median is 100. Find the value of Mode.
For a certain frequency distribution, the value of mean is 20 and mode is 11. Find the value of median.
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)
An incomplete distribution is given as follows:
| Variable: | 0 - 10 | 10 - 20 | 20 - 30 | 30 - 40 | 40 - 50 | 50 - 60 | 60 - 70 |
| Frequency: | 10 | 20 | ? | 40 | ? | 25 | 15 |
You are given that the median value is 35 and the sum of all the frequencies is 170. Using the median formula, fill up the missing frequencies.
The maximum speeds, in km per hour, of 35 cars in a race are given as follows:
| Speed (km/h) | 85 – 100 | 100 – 115 | 115 – 130 | 130 – 145 |
| Number of cars | 5 | 8 | 13 | 9 |
Calculate the median speed.
