The median of 19 observations is 30. Two more observation are made and the values of these are 8 and 32. Find the median of the 21 observations taken together.
Hint Since 8 is less than 30 and 32 is more than 30, so the value of median (middle value) remains unchanged.
In the following data, find the values of p and q. Also, find the median class and modal class.

| 100 – 200 | 11 | 11 |
| 200 – 300 | 12 | p |
| 300 – 400 | 10 | 33 |
