Calculate the median age, if policies are given only to persons having age 18 years onwards but less than 60 year. Making Normal Table Finding Median Median = l + (𝑁/2 −𝑐𝑓)/𝑓 × h Here, 𝑵/𝟐 ∴ 35 – 40 is median class And, l = h = cf = f = Putting values in formula Median = l + (𝑁/2 −𝑐𝑓)/𝑓 × h = 35 + (50 − 45)/33 × 5 = 35 + 5/33 × 5 = 35 + 0.76 = 35.76 Thus, Median age is 35.76 years
