Median from Frequency Tables Flashcards

The middle value in a data set when the values are arranged in order.

A table that shows how often each value or group of values occurs in a data set.

A running total of the frequencies, used to find the position of the median.

1. Calculate the cumulative frequency. 2. Find the position of the median using (n+1)/2. 3. Identify the group containing the median.

The position of the median is found using the formula (n+1)/2, where n is the total frequency.

A column added to the frequency table to calculate the running total of frequencies.

A frequency table where data is grouped into intervals or classes.

The group or interval in a grouped frequency table that contains the median value.

Cumulative frequency helps to determine the position of the median in a data set.

If the data is ungrouped, arrange it in order and find the middle value directly.
