Calculate the mean and the median for the following distribution :
Solution:
Writing the distribution in c.f. table :
The daily wages (in rupees) of 19 workers are
41, 21, 38, 27, 31, 45, 23, 26, 29, 30, 28, 25, 35, 42, 47, 53, 29, 31, 35.
Find
(i) the median
(ii) lower quartile
(iii) upper quartile range,
(iv) interquartile range.
Solution:
Arranging the observations in ascending order
21, 23, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 29, 30, 31, 31, 35, 35, 38, 41, 42, 45, 47, 53
Here n = 19 which is odd.
