Calculate the median age of the frequency distribution in the table above
- A.
25 - B.
30 - C.
35 - D.
20
Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation
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
