In a frequency distribution the last cumulative frequency is 300, Median shall lie in____________?

Correct answer: D. 150th item

  • A. 140th item
  • B. 130th item
  • C. 160th item
  • D. 150th item

Explanation

For a distribution containing 300 observations, the median position is conventionally N/2 = 300/2 = 150, so it lies at the 150th item. More exact ungrouped-data conventions may average the 150th and 151st observations.
