MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options : Consider the data :
Class $65-85$ $85-105$ $105-125$ $125-145$ $145-165$ $165-185$ $185-205$
Frequency $4$ $5$ $13$ $20$ $14$ $7$ $4$
The difference of the upper limit of the median class and the lower limit of the modal class is :
  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $19$
  • $20$
  • D
    $38$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$20$
Here,
Class Frequency Cumulative frequency
$65-85$ $4$ $4$
$85-105$ $5$ $9$
$105-125$ $13$ $22$
$125-145$ $20$ $42$
$145-165$ $14$ $56$
$165-185$ $7$ $63$
$185-205$ $4$ $67$
Here, $\frac{\text{N}}{2}=\frac{67}{2}=33.5$ which lies in the interval $125\ - 145.$
Hence, upper limit of median class is $145.$
Here, we see that the highest frequency is $20$ which lies in $125\ - 145$.
Hence, the lower limit of modal class is $125.$
Required difference $=$ Upper limit of median class $-$ Lower limit of modal class $= 145 - 125 = 20$
