MCQ
Statement A (Assertion) : Consider the following frequency distribution:
The median class is 12-16.
Statement R (Reason): Let $n=\sum f_i$. Then, the class whose cumulative frequency is just lesser than $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)$ is the median class.
| Class interval | 0-4 | 4-8 | 8-12 | 12-16 | 16-20 |
| Frequency | 6 | 3 | 5 | 20 | 10 |
The median class is 12-16.
Statement R (Reason): Let $n=\sum f_i$. Then, the class whose cumulative frequency is just lesser than $\left(\frac{n}{2}\right)$ is the median class.
