QUESTION NO 2
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
ANSWER
∑ꬵX/∑f
That ∑ꬵX/∑f
5879/40
146.975
Median = I+h/f(n/2-c)
H= class interval
= 144.5+9/12(40/2-17)
= 144.5 + 9 / 12 (3)
= 144.5 + 2.25
= 146.75 Ans
