For the following frequency distribution, draw a cumulative frequency curve (ogive) of ‘more than type’ and hence obtain the median value.
Class: | 0-10 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 |
Frequency: | 5 | 15 | 20 | 23 | 17 | 11 | 9 |
Class | 0-1 | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 |
freq. | 5 | 15 | 20 | 23 | 17 | 11 | 9 |
c.f. more than type | 100 | 100-5=95 | 95-15=80 | 80-20=60 | 60-23=37 | 37-17=20 | 20-11=9 |
Now calculate c.f of more than type taking account into lower limits.
After that plot the graph of freq. vs c.f
Now find
Now draw a line perpendicular to y-axis from
From the point, B draw a line which cuts x-axis and is perpendicular to x- axis
The point where the line cuts x-axis is the median
Median =
