Median (grouped data)

46 - 50 1 48 48 48

41 - 45 5 43 215 47

36 - 40 11 38 418 42

31 - 35 12 33 396 31 To identify the median location:

Median (half; middle)
26 - 30 11 28 308 19 ½ (total frequency)
½ (48) = 24
21 - 25 5 23 115 8 Look for that first number in cf that
is larger than 24, in this case it’s cf
16 - 20 2 18 36 3 31 then box that median row

11-15 1 13 13 1

This means that students with scores
fb
16 - 20 2 18 36 47 greater than 32.18 belong to the upper
50% of the class.
11-15 1 13 13 48
Students with scores less than 32.18
48 1549 belong to the lower 50% of the class
