उत्तर
| Family Size |
Number of families (f) |
Cumulative frequency (Cf) |
| 1 – 3 | 7 | 7 |
| 3 – 5 | 8 | 15 |
| 5 – 7 | 2 | 17 |
| 7 – 9 | 2 | 19 |
| 9 – 11 | 1 | 20 = N |
Median = `N^(th)/2` term
= 10th term
Median class = 3 – 5
Median = `l + (N/2 - Cf)/f xx h`
= `3 + (10 - 7)/8 xx 2`
= 3 + 0.75
∴ Median = 3.75
