Step-by-step explanation:

Given , data about a total of 200 patients in different age groups ho have

visited the hospital.

If we summarize the given data in the table, along side Less than cumulative frequency C.I. No of patients less than cf 10-20 40 40

20-30 32 72

30-40 35 107

40-50 45 152

50-60 33 185

60-70 15 200

Clearly, 100th patient all in the 30-40 Age group,

SO if we consider 30-40 as out median class,

From the formula of median , M = L + (N/2 - C)*w/f where

L = lower boundary of the median class = 30

N = total frequency = 200

C = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class = 72

f = frequency of the median class = 35

w = width of the median class i.e. upper boundary - lower boundary = 10

Thus, Median = 30 + (200/2 - 72)*10/35

= 30 + 28*10/35

= 30 + 8

= 38.

Hence, Median of the ages of the patients = 38.
