Read each question carefully and show all your work when calculating the median of grouped data. Remember to identify the median class, calculate the cumulative frequency, and use the appropriate formula.
1. When calculating the median for grouped data, the first step is to find the frequency.
2. The median class is the class interval where the (N/2)th observation lies, where N is the of all frequencies.
3. The formula for the median of grouped data is L + [((N/2) - cf) / f] * h, where 'L' is the lower boundary of the class.
4. Which of the following is NOT required to calculate the median of grouped data?
Cumulative frequency
Class width
Mean
Lower boundary of median class
5. If the total frequency (N) is 50, the median observation will be the:
20th observation
25th observation
30th observation
50th observation
6. The following table shows the distribution of marks obtained by 100 students in a test:
Marks | Number of Students ------------------------- 0-10 | 10 10-20 | 25 20-30 | 30 30-40 | 20 40-50 | 15
Calculate the median marks obtained by the students.
7. The median of grouped data is always equal to the mean.
True
