Question
What is the value of the median of the data using the graph in the following figure of less than ogive and more than ogive?
Solution
We know that the abscissa of the point of intersection of two ogives gives the median.
From the given figure, it can be seen that both the ogives intersect at the point (4, 15).
∴ Median of the data = 4
