An inter house cricket match was organized by a school. Distribution of runs made by the students is given below. Find the median runs scored.
Since Mode = 38
30 – 40 is Modal Class
Now,
Mode = l + (𝒇𝟏 −𝒇𝟎)/(𝟐𝒇𝟏 −𝒇𝟎 −𝒇𝟐) × h
where l = lower limit of modal class
h = class-interval
f1 = frequency of the modal class
f0 = frequency of class before modal class
f2 = frequency of class after modal class
Putting values in equation
Mode = l + (𝑓1 −𝑓0)/(2𝑓1 −𝑓0 −𝑓2) × h
38 = 30 + (𝟏𝟔 − 𝟏𝟐)/(𝟐(𝟏𝟔) − 𝟏𝟐 − 𝒙) × 10
38 = 30 + 4/(32 − 12 − 𝑥) × 10
38 − 30 = 4/(20 − 𝑥) × 10
8 = 4/(20 − 𝑥) × 10
8 × (20 − x) = 4 × 10
160 − 8x = 40
160 − 40 = 8x
120 = 8x
8x = 120
x = 120/8
x = 15
