Following is the distribution of the long jump competition in which 250 students participated. Find the median distance jumped by the students. Interpret the medianDistance (in m)0 - 11 - 22 - 33 - 44 - 5Number of Students4080623830

Distance (in m)0 - 11 – 22 - 33 - 44 - 5
Number of Students4080623830
cf40120182220250

\(\frac{n}{2}=\frac{250}{2}\) = 125

⇒ median class is 2 - 3, l = 2, h = 1, cf = 120, f = 62

median = \(l+\frac{\frac{n}{2}-cf}{f}\times i\)

= 2 + \(\frac{5}{62}\)

\(\frac{129}{62}=2\frac{5}{62}\)m or 2.08 m

50% of students jumped below \(2\frac{5}{62}\)m and 50% above it.
