A frequency distribution has classes 0-10, 10-20, 20-30, 30-40. The median class is 20-30 and the cumulative frequency before this class is 30. If N=80, frequency of median class is 20. The median is:
A. 25
B. 23
C. 24
D. 26
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Median = L + (N/2 - cf)/f × h = 20 + (40-30)/20 × 10 = 20 + 10/20×10 = 20 + 5 = 25.
