    Question 2: Marks: 12
     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:

    ∑ fχ
    Mean =
    ∑f

    Weight Pounds Mid-Point(x) Frequency 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 4 688
    172-180 176 2 352

    ∑ f =40

    ∑ fx=5869
    ∑f 5869
    = = 146.725
    ∑ fx 40

    In case of a frequency distribution, the median is given by the formula

    h n
    Median = l+ ( −c)
    f 2

    l = lower class boundary of the median class.


    h = class interval size of the median class.
    f = frequency of the median class.
    n = ∑ f (the total number of observations)
    c = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class.

    Weight Class Frequency Cumulative


    (pounds) Boundaries (f) frequency (cf)
    118-126 117.5-126.5 3 3
    127-135 126.5-135.5 5 8
    136-144 135.5-144.5 9 17
    145-153 144.5-153.5 12 29
    154-162 153.5-162.5 5 34
    163-171 162.5-171.5 4 38
    172-180 171.5-180.5 2 40

    9 40
    = 144.5+ ( −17)
    12 2
    9
    =144.5+ (20−17)
    12
    9
    = 144.5+ (3)
    12
    9
    = 144.5+
    4
    = 144.5 + 2.25
    = 146.75
