(\begin{array}{c|c} \text{Class Interval} & 1 - 5 & 6 - 10 & 11 - 15 & 16 - 20 & 21 - 25 \ \hline Frequency & 6 & 15 & 20 & 7 & 2\end{array})

Estimate the median of the frequency distribution above

A
10\(\frac{1}{2}\)
B
11\(\frac{1}{2}\)
C
12
D
13
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: C

Median = L + [(\frac{\frac{N}{2} - f}{fm})]h

N = Sum of frequencies

L = lower class boundary of median class

f = sum of all frequencies below L

fm = frequency of modal class and

h = class width of median class

Median = 11 + [(\frac{\frac{50}{2} - 21}{20})]5

= 11 + ((\frac{25 - 21}{20}))5

= 11 + ((\frac{(4)}{20}))

11 + 1 = 12
