The weights of tea in 70 packets are shown in the following table :
Weight (in gram) | Number of packets |
200-201 201-202 202-203 203-204 204-205 205-206 |
13 27 18 10 1 1 |
Draw the less than type and more than type ogives for the data and use them to find the median weight.
Answer. [201.8]
Solution.
Less than type | More than type | ||
Weight | Number of packets | Number of packets | Number of students |
Less than 200 | 0 | More than or equal to 200 | 70 |
Less than 201 | 13 | More than or equal to 201 | 70-13 = 57 |
Less than 202 | 40 | More than or equal to 202 | 57-27 =30 |
Less than 203 | 58 | More than or equal to 203 | 30-18 =12 |
Less than 204 | 68 | More than or equal to 204 | 12-10 = 2 |
Less than 205 | 69 | More than or equal to 205 | 2-1 = 1 |
Less than 206 | 70 | More than or equal to 206 | 1-1 = 0 |
Hence median = 201.8
