Every frequency in a grouped table is doubled, so each class now holds twice as many observations. The class boundaries are unchanged. The median of the distribution:

Class 10Median of Grouped DataStatistics and Probability
  • Ais doubled
  • Bis halved
  • Cis unchanged
  • Dincreases by h

Step-by-Step Solution

Doubling every frequency doubles , so doubles; every cumulative frequency doubles too, so the SAME class is still the median class. In Median = the numerator and the denominator are both doubled, so the fraction is unchanged, and and never depended on the frequencies at all. The median therefore stays exactly where it was. It would double only if every class boundary doubled, and it shifts by only if every boundary shifts by .
Answer: C) is unchanged
