Question:
Consider the following frequency distribution:
Class: 0-6, 6-12, 12-18, 18-24, 24-30
Frequency: 5, 7, 10, 8, 4
The median class is:
$6-12$
$12-18$
$18-24$
$24-30$
Step-by-Step Solution
Key Concept: $N = 34 \Rightarrow N/2 = 17$. Cumulative frequencies: 5, 12, 22, 30, 34. $cf \geq 17$ is 22, corresponding to $12-18$.
Stepwise Solution:
$N = 34 \Rightarrow N/2 = 17$. Cumulative frequencies: $5, 12, 22, 30, 34$. [0.5 Mark]
First $cf \geq 17$ is $22$, corresponding to class $12-18$. [0.5 Mark]
Marking Scheme:
• Cumulative frequency calculation: 0.5 Mark
• Identifying median class $12-18$: 0.5 Mark
Correct Answer: $12-18$
