From the table, |
I. Finding Mean :
Now, 150 - 200 is the class whose cumulative frequency 16 is greater than
Therefore, 150 - 200 is the median class. Thus, the lower limit (l) of the median class is 150.
II. Finding median:
III. Finding mode:
= 150 + 25 = 175

Draw cumulative frequency curves by using (i) 'less than series', (ii) 'more than series'.
e assume a class interval 150-200 prior to the first class interval 200-250 wtih zero frequency.

Now, we plot the pts.: (200, 200), (250,170), (300,155), (350,110), (400, 90), (450, 65), (500, 25), (550, 15) and (600, 0).
Draw both types of cumulative freqneucy curve on the same graph paper and then determine the median.

Now, we plot the points (60,4), (70,12), (80,24), (90,30), (100,36), for less than series.
And. (50,36), (60,32), (70,24), (80,12), (90,6) for more than series.
The two curves drawn intersect each other at point, say P. Through this point P, draw a vertical line, which meets x-axis at 76.
So, median = 76
Draw 'less than' and 'more than' ogive curve from the following and indicate the value of median.

Now we plot the points (5,7), (10,17), (15,37), (20, 50), (25, 62), (30, 72), (35, 86), (40, 95) for less than series. And (0,95), (5,88), (10,78), (15,58), (20, 45), (25,33), (30,23), (35,9) for more than series.
The two curves drawn intersect each other at P. Through this P, draw a vertical line, which meets the x-axis at 20. So median = 20.
