The abscissa of the point of intersection of the less than type and of the more than type cumulative frequency curves of a grouped data gives its
(A) mean (B) median (C) mode (D) all the three above
Answer. [B]
Solution. Frequency distribution: It tells how frequencies are distributed over values in a frequency distribution. However mostly we use frequency distribution to summarize categorical variables.
If we make graph of less than type and of more than type grouped data and find the intersection point then the value at abscissa is the median of the grouped data.
Hence option (B) is correct.
