MEDIAN= 20th item is (98-see table above) within the cumulative frequency of 35 therefore the median class is 95-101
Lower limit for the median class is 95. The frequency of median class is 7.
The cumulated frequency before the median class is 28
MEDIAN= Lm + (N/2-∑fm-1)/(fm)i
= 95+((40/2-28)/7)7
= 95+ (-7.99)
MEDIAN= 87
Note: There are 13 classes presented but according to the rules in frequency group distribution, If the range divided by the number of classes gives an integer value (no remainder),
then you can either add one to the number of classes or add one to the class width. Sometimes
you're locked into a certain number of classes because of the instructions. The Bluman text fails to mention the case when there is no remainder.
