MCQ 11 Mark
If the 'less than' type ogive and 'more than' type ogive intersect each other at $(20.5,15.5)$ then the median of the given data is
- A36.0
- ✓20.5
- C15.5
- D5.5
Answer
View full question & answer→Correct option: B.
20.5
(b)
The less than ogive curve gives cumulative frequency (probability) for $x \leq a$.
The more than ogive curve gives cumulative frequency (probability) for $x \geq a$.
They intersect exactly at the median because cumulative frequency will be $50 \%$ of the total at median. So, median is 20.5
Hence the correct option is (b).
