Step-by-step solution
4 stepsHere are the solutions to the problems based on the provided frequency distribution table.
Part a· 2 steps
Make a cumulative frequency table and use it to draw a cumulative frequency polygon.
Create the cumulative frequency table.
To do this, we add the frequency of each class to the sum of the frequencies of all preceding classes.
Marks % Frequency (f) Upper Class Boundary Cumulative Frequency (cf) 10-20 18 20 18 20-30 34 30 30-40 58 40 40-50 42 50 50-60 24 60 60-70 10 70 70-80 6 80 80-90 8 90 Identify points for the cumulative frequency polygon.
To draw a cumulative frequency polygon, you would plot the cumulative frequency against the upper class boundary. The points to plot are:
$(10, 0)$, $(20, 18)$, $(30, 52)$, $(40, 110)$, $(50, 152)$, $(60, 176)$, $(70, 186)$, $(80, 192)$, $(90, 200)$.

As an AI, I cannot draw the graph to estimate the median visually.
Calculate the median.
The total number of students is . The median position is .
From the cumulative frequency table, the 100th student falls into the 30-40 class (since cf at 30 is 52 and cf at 40 is 110).
The median class is 30-40.
Using the formula for the median of grouped data:Where:
(lower boundary of the median class)
(total frequency)
(cumulative frequency of the class before the median class)
(frequency of the median class)
(width of the median class, )Substitute the values into the formula:
