Example 7
A survey regarding the heights (in cm) of 51 girls of Class X of a school was conducted and the following data was obtained
Find the median height.
Making Normal Table
Median = l + (𝑵/𝟐 −𝒄𝒇)/𝒇 × h
Here,
𝑵/𝟐
∴ 145 – 150 is the Median class
And,
l = lower limit of median class
h = class-interval
cf = cumulative frequency of the class before median class
f = frequency of the median class
Putting values in Formula
Median = l + (𝑛/2 −𝑐𝑓)/𝑓 × h
= 145 + (𝟐𝟓.𝟓 −𝟏𝟏)/𝟏𝟖 × 5
= 145 + 14.5/11 × 5
= 145 + 4.03
= 149.03
Therefore, Median height is 149.03 cm
