Here 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.

  1. 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 BoundaryCumulative Frequency (cf)
    10-20182018
    20-30343018+34=5218 + 34 = 52
    30-40584052+58=11052 + 58 = 110
    40-504250110+42=152110 + 42 = 152
    50-602460152+24=176152 + 24 = 176
    60-701070176+10=186176 + 10 = 186
    70-80680186+6=192186 + 6 = 192
    80-90890192+8=200192 + 8 = 200
  2. 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:
    $(10, 0)$, $(20, 18)$, $(30, 52)$, $(40, 110)$, $(50, 152)$, $(60, 176)$, $(70, 186)$, $(80, 192)$, $(90, 200)$.

Estimate the median from the graph and by calculation.

  1. State inability to draw graph.

    As an AI, I cannot draw the graph to estimate the median visually.

  2. Calculate the median.

    The total number of students is N=200N = 200. The median position is N2=2002=100\frac{N}{2} = \frac{200}{2} = 100.
    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:

    Median=L+(N2−CFf)×w\text{Median} = L + \left( \frac{\frac{N}{2} - CF}{f} \right) \times w

    Where:
    L=30L = 30 (lower boundary of the median class)
    N=200N = 200 (total frequency)
    CF=52CF = 52 (cumulative frequency of the class before the median class)
    f=58f = 58 (frequency of the median class)
    w=10w = 10 (width of the median class, 40−3040-30)

    Substitute the values into the formula:
