(\begin{array}{c|c}Age & 20 & 25 & 30 & 35 & 40 & 45 \
\hline \text{No. of people} & 3 & 5 & 1 & 1 & 2 & 3 \end{array})
Calculate the median age of the frequency distribution in the table above
A
25
B
30
C
35
D
20
Ask EduPadi AI for a detailed answer
Correct Option: A
N = (\sum f) = 15
Hence the median age is the (\frac{N + 1}{2})th age, i.e.
(\frac{15 + 1}{2})th = 8th
From the table, the age that falls on the 8th position when arranged in ascending order is 25years
