Question:
Find the missing frequencies in the following frequency distribution table, if N = 100 and median is 32.
Solution:
We have to find the missing term of the following distribution table if $N=100$ and median is 32 .
Suppose the missing term are x and y.
Now we have to find the cumulative frequency as
From the above distribution median class is 30-40 and
$l=30$
$N=100$
$h=10$
$f=30$
$C=35+x$
Therefore,
$N=100=75+x+y$
$\Rightarrow x+y=25$.........(1)
Now we are using the following relation
median $=l+\frac{\frac{N}{2}-C}{f} \times h$
$\Rightarrow 32=30+\frac{\frac{100}{2}-(35+x)}{30} \times 10$
$\Rightarrow 96=90+50-35-x$
$\Rightarrow x=9$
Now we are putting the value of x in the equation (1), we get
$9+y=25$
$\Rightarrow y=16$
Hence the missing terms are
