Consider the following grouped frequency distribution :Class 0-10 10-20 20-30 30-40 40-50 50-60 Frequency 1 2 4 6 4 3
What is the usual interpolated median estimate for the grouped distribution?
35
The cumulative frequencies are \(1,3,7,13,17,20\) and \(N=20\). The median class is30–40, with lower boundary 30, preceding cumulative frequency 7, frequency 6 and width 10. Therefore \(M=30+\frac{20/2-7}{6}\times10=35\). This is the grouped-data interpolation estimate.
