`sumf=380` |
`sumf = N = 380`
So, the Median class = Size of `(N/2)^(th)` item = 190th item
190th item lies in the 129th cumulative frequency and the corresponding class interval is 200 - 300.
So, Median `=L+(N/2-CF)/fxxi`
`=200+(190-129)/148xx100`
= `200+61/148xx100`
= 200 + 41.22
= 241.22
The median size of land holdings = 241.22 acres
