Question

The cmulative frequency of the last class interval will be equal to a) 100 b) none of these c) total frequency-1 d) Total frequency If the values in the data arranged in the ascending order of magnitude, the median is a. The middle item if the number of values is odd b. The average of middle two items if the number of values is odd c. None of these d. The last item if the number of values are odd

Definition Definition Middle value of a data set. The median divides a data set into two halves, and it also called the 50th percentile. The median is much less affected by outliers and skewed data than the mean. If the number of elements in a dataset is odd, then the middlemost element of the data arranged in ascending or descending order is the median. If the number of elements in the dataset is even, the average of the two central elements of the arranged data is the median of the set. For example, if a dataset has five items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31—the median is the third item in ascending order, or 21. If a dataset has six items—12, 13, 21, 27, 31, 33—the median is the average of the third (21) and fourth (27) items. It is calculated as follows: (21 + 27) / 2 = 24.
