In a frequency table whose classes all have width 5, the cumulative frequency up to the end of the class 25-30 is exactly n/2. What is the median?

Class 10Median of Grouped DataStatistics and Probability
  • A25
  • B27.5
  • CIt cannot be decided without the frequency of the next class
  • D30

Step-by-Step Solution

Exactly half the observations lie below 30. Treating 30-35 as the median class gives and , so Median = ; treating 25-30 as the median class gives as well. 25 is the lower boundary of 25-30 and 27.5 is its class mark — neither is the median. The frequency of the next class is not needed, because the numerator is zero whatever may be.
