उत्तर
| Salary (In thousand Rs) | No. of Persons | CF |
| 5-10 | 49 | 49 |
| 10-15 | 133 | 182 |
| 15-20 | 63 | 245 |
| 20-25 | 15 | 260 |
| 25-30 | 6 | 266 |
| 30-35 | 7 | 273 |
| 35-40 | 4 | 277 |
| 40-45 | 2 | 279 |
| 45-50 | 1 | 280 |
`N/2`
= `280/2`
= 140
The cumulative frequency which is greater than and nearest to 140 is 182.
Median class = 10-15
We also have,
l (lower limit of median class) = 10
h (class size) = 5
n (number of observations) = 280
cf = (cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class) = 49
f (frequency of median class) = 133
The median for grouped data is given by the formula:
Median = `l + ((n/2 - cf)/f) xx h`
where f is the frequency of the median class and cf is the cumulative frequency of the previous class.
Median = `10 + (140 - 49)/133 xx 5`
= 13.42
