Using the Midpoint Formula:
∑𝒇𝒙
Formula: X = 𝑵
Scores f x fx
45-49 2 47 94
40-44 6 42 252
35-39 11 37 407
30-34 10 32 320
25-29 12 27 324
20-24 5 22 110
15-19 4 17 68
N = 50 ∑fx = 1575

Substitute:
∑𝒇𝒙
X=
𝑵
1575
= 50

X = 31.5

Using Assumed Mean:

∑𝐟𝐝
Formula: X = AM + ( ) c.i
𝑵

Scores f d fd
45-49 2 3 6
40-44 6 2 12
35-39 11 1 11 = 29
30-34 10 0 0
25-29 12 -1 -12
20-24 5 -2 -10
15-19 4 -3 -12 = -34
N = 50 ∑fd = -5
Substitute:
∑𝐟𝐝
X = AM +( ) c.i
𝑵

30 + 34 = 64 ÷ 2 = 32
−5
= 32 + ( )5
50

= 32 + (-0.1)5
= 32 + (-0.5)
X = 31.5

Median Using Lower Limit

𝑵 /𝟐 − 𝑷𝑺
Formula: Median = L.L + ( ) c.i
𝒇

N/2 = 50 ÷ 2 = 25
Scores f <CF
45-49 2 50
40-44 6 48

25-29 12 21 PS
20-24 5 9
15-19 4 4
N = 50

Substitute:
𝑵 /𝟐 – 𝑷𝑺
L.L +( ) c.i

= 29.5 + (10) 5

= 29.5 + (0.4) 5
= 29.5 + (2)
Median = 31.5
Median Using Upper Limit
𝑵 /𝟐– 𝑷𝑺
Formula: Median: U.L – ( ) c.i
𝒇

N/2 = 50 ÷ 2 = 25

Scores f >CF
45-49 2 2

30-34 34.5 UL 10 29
25-29 12 41

15-19 4 50
N = 50

Substitute:
𝑵 /𝟐– 𝑷𝑺
U.L – ( ) c.i

6
= 34.5 – (10) 5

= 34.5 – (0.6) 5
= 34.5 – (3)
Median = 31.5
