SOLUTION :  

CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY TABLES are in the attachment.  

(i)

Here, n = 100  

n/2 = 50

Since, the Cumulative frequency just greater than 50 is 65 and the corresponding class is 70 - 90.  Therefore 70 - 90  is the median class.

Here, l = 70 , f = 22 , c.f = 43,  h = 20

MEDIAN = l + [(n/2 - cf )/f ] ×h

= 70 + [50 - 43)/22] × 20

= 70 + (7 × 20)/22

= 70 + (7 × 10)/11

= 70 + 70/11

= 70 + 6.36

= 76.36

Hence, the Median is 76.36.

(ii)

Here, n = 150  

n/2 = 75

Since, the Cumulative frequency just greater than 75 is 105 and the corresponding class is 110 - 120.  Therefore 110 - 120  is the median class.

Here, l = 120 , f = 45 , c.f = 60,  h = -10 (class interval is in descending order)

MEDIAN = l + [(n/2 - cf )/f ] ×h

= 120 + [75 - 60)/45] × -10

= 120 + (15 × -10)/45

= 120 - 150/45

= 120 - 10/3

= 120 - 3.333

= 111.67 (approximate)

Hence, the Median is 111.67 (approximate)

★★ MEDIAN = l + [(n/2 - cf )/f ] ×h

Where,

l = lower limit of the median class

n = number of observations  

cf = cumulative frequency  of class interval preceding the  median class

f = frequency  of median class

h = class  size
