Question 31 The median of the following data is 16. Find the missing frequencies a and b, if the total of the frequencies is 70.Given โˆ‘โ–’๐’‡๐’Š = 70 Finding Cummulative Freq. Since Median = 16 15 โ€“ 20 is median class Median = l + (๐‘›/2 โˆ’๐‘๐‘“)/๐‘“ ร— h Where l = lower limit of median class h = class-interval n = โˆ‘โ–’๐‘“๐‘– cf = cumulative freq.of class before median class f = frequency of the median class Now, Median = l + (๐’/๐Ÿ โˆ’๐’„๐’‡)/๐’‡ ร— h 16 = 15 + (70/2 โˆ’ (24 + ๐‘Ž))/15 ร— 5 16 โˆ’ 15 = (35 โˆ’ 24 โˆ’ ๐‘Ž)/3 1 = (11 โˆ’ ๐‘Ž)/3 3 = 11 โˆ’ a a = 11 โˆ’ 3 a = 8 Also, โˆ‘โ–’๐’‡๐’Š = 55 + a + b 70 = 55 + a + b Putting a = 8 70 = 55 + 8 + b 70 = 63 + b 70 โˆ’ 63 = b b = 7
