- AIts -coordinate is the median of the distribution
- BIts -coordinate is the median of the distribution
- CIts -coordinate is the mean of the distribution
- DIts -coordinate is the boundary of the modal class
Step-by-Step Solution
At the crossing point the number of observations below the value equals the number above it, and each of those counts must therefore be n/2. The value read off the horizontal axis is thus the median. The vertical coordinate there is n/2, which is a COUNT of observations and not the median itself — that is the usual mix-up. Neither the mean nor anything about the modal class can be read from this crossing.
Answer: B) Its -coordinate is the median of the distribution
