Consider the following for the four (04) items that follow:
The frequency distribution of height of students of a class is given below:
What is the median height of the class?
The frequency distribution of height of students of a class is given below:
| Height (in cm) | Number of Students |
|---|---|
| 160–162 | 12 |
| 162–164 | 15 |
| 164–166 | 24 |
| 166–168 | 13 |
What is the median height of the class?
Options
- A cm
- B cm
- C cm
- D cm
Correct answer
C. cm
Step-by-step solution
The cumulative frequencies for the given classes are:
:
:
:
:
Total number of students,
The cumulative frequency just greater than is , which corresponds to the class . Thus, the median class is .
Lower limit of the median class,
Cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class,
Frequency of the median class,
Class width,
Using the formula for median:
Answer: cm
