Find the median of the following data. 

Class interval 0 - 20 20 - 40 40 - 60 60 - 80 80 - 100

The correct answer is

47.5

To find the median, we first need to find the cumulative frequency. 

Cumulative Frequency: 9, 25, 49, 64, 68 

N = 68 N/2 = 34 

The median class is the class interval where the cumulative frequency is greater than or equal to N/2. 

In this case, it is the 40-60 class interval. 

Median = L + [(N/2 - cf)/f] * h 

L = Lower limit of the median class = 40 cumulative frequency (cf) = 25 f = frequency of the median class = 24 h = class width = 20 

Median = 40 + [(34 - 25)/24] * 20 = 40 + (9/24) * 20 = 40 + 7.5 = 47.5
