SOLUTION :

CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY TABLE is in the attachment.

Here, n = 30

n/2 = 15

Since, the Cumulative frequency just greater than 15 is 19 and the corresponding class is 55 - 60 .Therefore 55 - 60 is the median class.

Here, l = 55 , f = 6, c.f = 13, h = 5

MEDIAN = l + [(n/2 - cf )/f ] ×h

= 55 + [(15 - 13)/6] × 5

= 55 +(2× 5)/6

= 55 + 10/6

= 55 + 5/3

= 55 + 1.667

= 56.667 ≈ 56.67

Hence, the Median weight of students is 56.67 kg .

MEDIAN for the GROUPED data :

For this we find the Cumulative frequency(cf) of all the classes and n/2 , where n = number of observations.

Now, find the class whose Cumulative frequency is greater than and nearest to n/2 and this class is called median class,then use the following formula calculating the median.

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
