Sum

The following table shows the classification of number of vehicles and their speeds on Mumbai-Pune express way. Find the median of the data.

 Average Speed of Vehicles(Km/hr) 60 - 64 64 - 69 70 - 74 75 - 79 79 - 84 84 - 89 No. of vehicles 10 34 55 85 10 6

#### Solution

 Class (Number of working hours) Continuousclasses Frequency(Number of workers) Cumulaive frequency less than theupper limit 60 - 64 59.5 - 64.5 10 10 64 - 69 64.5 - 69.5 34 44 70 - 74 69.5 - 74.5 55 99 → cf 75 - 79 74.5 - 79.5 85 → f 184 79 - 84 79.5 - 84.5 10 194 84 - 89 84.5 - 89.5 6 200 Total - N = 200 -

Here, total frequency = ∑fi = N = 200

∴ "N"/2 = 200/2 = 100

Cumulative frequency which is just greater than (or equal) to 100 is 184.

∴ The median class is 74.5 – 79.5.

Now, L = 74.5, f = 85, cf = 99, h = 5

Now, Median = $L + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - cf}{f} \right) \times h$\

= 74.5 + ((100 - 99)/85) xx 5

= 74.5 + 0.059

= 74.559 ≈ 75

∴ The median of the given data is 75 km/hr (approx.).
