The lengths of 40 leaves of a plant are measured correct to the nearest millimetre, and the data obtained is represented in the following table :
Length (in mm) | Number of leaves |
---|---|
118 - 126 | 3 |
127 - 135 | 5 |
136 - 144 | 9 |
145 - 153 | 12 |
154 - 162 | 5 |
163 - 171 | 4 |
172 - 180 | 2 |
Find the median length of the leaves.
(Hint : The data needs to be converted to continuous classes for finding the median, since the formula assumes continuous classes. The classes then change to 117.5 - 126.5, 126.5 - 135.5, . . ., 171.5 - 180.5.)
The following frequency distribution gives the monthly consumption of electricity of 68 consumers of a locality. Find the median, mean and mode of the data and compare them

The following table gives the distribution of the life time of 400 neon lamps :
Life time (in hours) | Number of lamps |
---|---|
1500 - 2000 | 14 |
2000 - 2500 | 56 |
2500 - 3000 | 60 |
3000 - 3500 | 86 |
3500 - 4000 | 74 |
4000 - 4500 | 62 |
4500 - 5000 | 48 |
Find the median life time of a lamp.
