Calculate the median age of the frequency distribution in the table above
A.
25
B.
30
C.
35
D.
20
Correct Answer: 25
Explanation
N = ∑f = 15
Hence the median age is the (N+1/2)th age,i.e.
(15+1)/2)th = 8th
From the table, the age that falls on the 8th position when arranged in ascending order is 25years
N = ∑f = 15
Hence the median age is the (N+1/2)th age,i.e.
(15+1)/2)th = 8th
From the table, the age that falls on the 8th position when arranged in ascending order is 25years
