CCP303.35 1
Objectives:
CCP303.35 2
Recap
Median is middle-most value of the variables
that are arranged in order
Median for ungrouped data = Size of (n+1)/2th
observation provided the observations are
arranged in either ascending or descending
order
CCP303.35 3
Recap
L2 - L1
Median=L1+----------x(m – c)

CCP303.35 4
Calculation of Median
Continuous Series (Inclusive classes)
Steps:
Convert data into Exclusive classes
Taking average of upper limit with lower limit of next
class
Decide Median class (where value of Median lies).
Use N/2 as the rank of Median
CCP303.35 5
Calculation of Median
Continuous Series (Inclusive classes)
Steps
After ascertaining Median class, use formula to
calculate exact value of Median
CCP303.35 6
Median - Continuous Series - Formula
L2 - L1
Median=L1+ ----------x(m – c)
F1
Where
M = Median
L1 = Lower limit of the median class
L2 = Upper limit of the median class
f1 = frequency of the median class
m = N/2
C = Cumulative frequency of the class preceding
the median class
CCP303.35 7
Example – 1:
CCP303.35 10
Solution contd
49.5 – 39.5
= 39.5 + -------------(46 - 22)
25
= 39.5 +10 X24
25
= 49.1
Hence, Median wage = Rs. 49.1 or 49
CCP303.35 11
Example-2
Calculate Median for the following frequency
distribution:
CCP303.35 12
Solution to Ex. 2
Convert the Inclusive class into Exclusive class
CALCULATION OF MEDIAN
L2 - L 1
Median = L1 + ----------(m-c)

499.5 - 439.5
Median = 439.5 + ---------------- (100-76)

Summary
Median for Continuous series (Inclusive classes)
can be calculated as follows:
Convert data from Inclusive to Exclusive classes
Find out cumulative frequencies
Find the median class with the value of m=Size of N/2th item
Apply the formula
L2 - L1
Median = L1 + ----------(m-c)
