This is even more obvious if you visualize the cumulative relative frequency on a bar chart like on chart 4.4.2.1. The median will be equal to 4 because it’s the smallest value for which the cumulative relative frequency is higher than 50%.
You can see that 10% of students (3 students) live in a household of size 2, 23% of students (7 students) live in a household of size 3 or less and 57% of students (17 students) live in a household of size 4 or less. Household sizeĬumulative frequency (number of students) The information is grouped by Household size (appearing as row headers), Frequency (number of students), Relative frequency (%), Cumulative frequency (number of students) and Cumulative relative frequency (%) (appearing as column headers). This table displays the results of Frequency table of household sizes of the students. Example 3 – Median size of households of the students in the classįrequency table of household sizes of the students However, when possible it’s best to use the basic statistical function available in a spreadsheet or statistical software application because the results will then be more reliable. The median is the smallest value for which the cumulative relative frequency is at least 50%. Therefore, the median time is (25.2 + 25.6) ÷ 2 = 25.4 seconds.įor larger data sets, the cumulative relative frequency distribution can be helpful to identify the median. The median is the mean between the data point of rank There are now n = 8 data points, an even number. The information is grouped by Rank (appearing as row headers), Times (in seconds) (appearing as column headers).
This table displays the results of Rank associated with each value of 200-meter running times. Rank associated with each value of 200-meter running times, updated
