Question 2:
The following table is constructed from the weights (recorded to the nearest pound) of 40 male
students of a college. Calculate the mean and median of the distribution.

Weight Frequency
(pounds)

118-126 3

127-135 5

136-144 9

145-153 12

154-162 5

163-171 4

172-180 2

Solution:

Mean
Weight (pounds) Mid Point(X) Frequency (f) fX

118-126 122 3 366

127-135 131 5 655

136-144 140 9 1260
145-153 149 12 1788
154-162 158 5 790
163-171 167 4 668
 172-180 176 2 352

Median =
To find Median Class = No. of observations/2 =20

Weight Frequency(f) Class Cumulative

(pounds) Boundaries frequency (cf)

118-126 3 117.5-126.5 3

127-135 5 126.5-135.5 8

136-144 9 135.5-144.5 17

145-153 12 144.5-153.5 29 Median Class

154-162 5 153.5-162.5 34

163-171 4 162.5-171.5 38

172-180 2 171.5-180.0 40
