The correct Answer is:
To find the upper limit of the median class from the given frequency distribution, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Class Intervals and Frequencies The given frequency distribution is: - Class Intervals: 0-5, 6-11, 12-17, 18-23, 24-29 - Frequencies: 13, 10, 15, 8, 11 ### Step 2: Calculate the Cumulative Frequency We will calculate the cumulative frequency for each class interval. - For the first class (0-5): Cumulative Frequency = 13 - For the second class (6-11): Cumulative Frequency = 13 + 10 = 23 - For the third class (12-17): Cumulative Frequency = 23 + 15 = 38 - For the fourth class (18-23): Cumulative Frequency = 38 + 8 = 46 - For the fifth class (24-29): Cumulative Frequency = 46 + 11 = 57 So, the cumulative frequencies are: - 0-5: 13 - 6-11: 23 - 12-17: 38 - 18-23: 46 - 24-29: 57 ### Step 3: Determine the Total Frequency (n) The total frequency \( n \) is the sum of all frequencies: \[ n = 13 + 10 + 15 + 8 + 11 = 57 \] ### Step 4: Calculate \( \frac{n}{2} \) Now, we calculate \( \frac{n}{2} \): \[ \frac{n}{2} = \frac{57}{2} = 28.5 \] ### Step 5: Identify the Median Class We need to find the cumulative frequency that is just greater than \( 28.5 \). Looking at our cumulative frequencies: - 0-5: 13 - 6-11: 23 - 12-17: 38 (this is the first cumulative frequency greater than 28.5) Thus, the median class is 12-17. ### Step 6: Determine the Upper Limit of the Median Class The upper limit of the median class (12-17) is: \[ 17 \] ### Final Answer The upper limit of the median class is **17**. ---
