During the medical check-up of 35 students of a class, their weights were recorded as follows:

It can be observed that the difference between two consecutive upper class limits is 2. The class marks with their respective frequencies are obtained as below.

Cumulative

The cumulative frequency just greater than n/2 (i.e. 35/2 = 17.5) is 28, belonging to class intervals 46- 48.
Median class = 46 – 48
lower class limit (l) of median class = 46
Cumulative frequency (cf) of class preceding median class = 14
Class size (h) = 2
Median = l + ((n/2 – cf)/f) × h = 46 + ((17.5 – 14)/14) × 2 = 46 + 0.5 = 46.5
Therefore, median of this data is 46.5.
Hence, the value of median is verified.
