1. In a hospital, the ages of diabetic patients were recorded as follows. Find the median age.
Age 
(in years)
0 15 15 30 30 45 45 60 60 - 75
No. of patients 5 20 40 50 25
Sol:
We prepare the cumulative frequency table, as shown below:
Age (in years) Number of patients (fi) Cumulative Frequency (cf)
0 15 5 5
15 30 20 25
30 45 40 65
45 60 50 115
60 75 25 140
Total N = = 140
Now, N = 140 = 70.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 70 is 115 and the corresponding class is 45 
60.
Thus, the median class is 45 60.
l = 45, h = 15, f = 50, N = 140 and cf = 65.
Now,
Median = l + × h
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + 1.5
= 46.5

Now, N = 140 = 70.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 70 is 115 and the corresponding class is 45

Thus, the median class is 45 60.
l = 45, h = 15, f = 50, N = 140 and cf = 65.
Now,
Median = l + × h
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + 1.5
= 46.5
 
Hence, the median age is 46.5 years.

N = = 50
Now, N = 50 = 25.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 25 is 41 and the corresponding class is 35 42.
Thus, the median class is 35 42.
l = 35, h = 7, f = 16, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 25 and = 25.
Now,
Median = l + × h
= 35 + 7 ×
= 35 + 0
= 35
Hence, the median age is 46.5 years.

Thus, the median class is 200 300.
l = 200, h = 100, f = 48, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 72 and = 75.
Now,
Median, M = l +

Hence, the median daily wage income of the workers is Rs 206.25.
4. Calculate the median from the following frequency distribution table:

The cumulative frequency just greater than 24.5 is 26 and the corresponding class is 15 -
20.
Thus, the median class is 15 20.
l = 15, h = 5, f = 15, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 11 and = 24.5.
Now,
Median, M = l +

Thus, the median class is 45 60.
l = 45, h = 15, f = 50, N = 140 and cf = 65.
Now,
Median = l + × h

Thus, the median class is 200 300.
l = 200, h = 100, f = 48, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 72 and = 75.
Now,
Median, M = l +

The cumulative frequency just greater than 24.5 is 26 and the corresponding class is 15 -
20.
Thus, the median class is 15 20.
l = 15, h = 5, f = 15, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 11 and = 24.5.
Now,
Median, M = l +

Now, N = 67
= 33.5.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 33.5 is 42 and the corresponding class is 125 -
145.
Thus, the median class is 125 145.
l = 125, h = 20, f = 20, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 22 and = 33.5.
Now,
Median, M = l +

Now, N = 140 = 70.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 70 is 115 and the corresponding class is 45 
60.
Thus, the median class is 45 60.
l = 45, h = 15, f = 50, N = 140 and cf = 65.
Now,
Median = l + × h
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + × 15
= 45 + 1.5
= 46.5
 
Hence, the median age is 46.5 years.

Now, N = 50 = 25.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 25 is 41 and the corresponding class is 35 42.
Thus, the median class is 35 42.
l = 35, h = 7, f = 16, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 25 and = 25.
Now,
Median = l + × h
= 35 + 7 ×
= 35 + 0

The cumulative frequency just greater than 75 is 120 and the corresponding class is 200 
300.
Thus, the median class is 200 300.
l = 200, h = 100, f = 48, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 72 and = 75.
Now,
Median, M = l +

N = = 49
Now, N = 49 
= 24.5.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 24.5 is 26 and the corresponding class is 15 -
20.
Thus, the median class is 15 20.
l = 15, h = 5, f = 15, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 11 and = 24.5.
Now,
Median, M = l +

185 205 4 67
N = = 67
Now, N = 67
= 33.5.
The cumulative frequency just greater than 33.5 is 42 and the corresponding class is 125 -

Thus, the median class is 125 145.
l = 125, h = 20, f = 20, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 22 and = 33.5.
Now,
Median, M = l +

The cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 56 and the corresponding class is 150 -
155.
Thus, the median class is 150 155.
l = 150, h = 5, f = 22, cf = c.f. of preceding class = 34 and = 50.
Now,
Median, M = l +
