Consider the following frequency distribution:
Class 0-5 6-11 12-17 18-23 24-29
Frequency 13 10 15 8 11
The upper limit of the median class is
a. 17
b. 17.5
c. 18
d. 18.5

Solution:

As the classes are not continuous, we have to make the data continuous by subtracting 0.5 from lower limit and adding 0.5 to the upper limit of each class

From the question,

N/2 = 57/2 = 28.5

We know that 28.5 lies between the interval 11.5-17.5

So the upper limit is 17.5

Therefore, the upper limit of the median class is 17.5.
