SAMPLE PROBLEMS WITH ANSWERS FOR MEDIAN MEASURES OF CENTRAL

TENDENCY
Topic: Measures of Central Tendency
Learning Outcome: To identify the median of the given grouped data set.
1. Complete the table and the following information, and then find the
median. Solution:

Class
Limits f cf N= 20

94-97 3  3 LB= 21.5

f= 5
98-101 8  11
cf= 9
102-105 12  23 i= 7

106-109 10  33 Median= LB + n/2 – cf (i)

f
110-113 6  39
= 22.9
114-117 1  40 2. Complete the table and the following
Class information, and then find the median.
Limits f cf Solution:
1-7 1  1
Class
8-14 2  3
Limits f cf N= 31
15-21 6  9
34-36 1 1 LB= 42.5
22-28 5  14
37-39 3 4 f= 10
29-35 2  16
cf= 10
40-42
36-42 46  20 10
i= 3
43-45 10 20
Median= LB+ n/2 – cf (i)
46-48 5 25
f
49-51 4 29
= 44.15
52-54 2 31

3. Complete the table and the following information, and then find the median.
Solution:
cf= 11
N= 40 i= 4
LB= 101.5 Median=LB + n/2 – cf (i)
f= 12 f
= 104.5
