2 + 4  = 6

6 + 6  =  12

11 + 12  =  23

23 + 12  =  35

35 + 8  =  43

43 + 7  =  50

Here, the total frequency, N = ∑f = 50

N/2  =  50 / 2  =  25

The median is (N/2)th value = 25th value.

Now, 25th value occurs in the cumulative frequency 35, whose corresponding marks is 58.

So, the median = 58.

9 + 11  =  20

20 + 5  =  25

25 + 6  =  31

31 + 8  =  39

39 + 1  =  40

40 + 3  =  43

43 + 7  =  50

Here, the total frequency, N = ∑f = 50

N/2  =  50 / 2  =  25

The median is (N/2)th value = 25th value.

Now, 25th value occurs in the cumulative frequency 25, whose corresponding marks is 3.

So, the median = 3.

Problem 3 :

The height (in cm) of 50 students in a particular class are given below:

8 + 4  =  12

12 + 6  =  18

18 + 10  =  28

28 + 12  =  40

40 + 3  =  43

43 + 7  =  50

Here, the total frequency, N = ∑f = 50

N/2  =  50 / 2  =  25

The median is (N/2)th value = 25th value.

Now, 25th value occurs in the cumulative frequency 28, whose corresponding marks is 153.

So, the median = 153.

Problem 4 :

The hearts of 60 patients were examined through X-ray and the observations obtained are given below:

7 + 9  =  16

16 + 15  =  31

31 + 12  =  43

43 + 6  =  49

49 + 11  =  60

Here, the total frequency, N = ∑f = 60

N/2  =  60 / 2  =  30

The median is (N/2)th value = 30th value.

Now, 30th value occurs in the cumulative frequency 31, whose corresponding diameter of heart is 132.

So, the median = 132.
