The following table gives the literacy rate ( in % ) of 25 cities. Find the median class and modal class.
Literacy rate (in percent) |
50-60 | 60-70 | 70-80 | 80-90 |
Number of cities | 9 | 6 | 8 | 2 |
is the ans median class 60-70 and modal class 50-60??
Dear student
We have,
N=25.So, N/2=12.5
The cumulative frequency just greater than N/2 is 15 and the corresponding class is 60-70.
So, 60-70 is the median class.
Here, the maximum frequency is 9 and the corresponding class is 50-60.
So, the modal class is 50-60.

Literacy rate | Number of cities | Cumulative frequency |
50-60 | 9 | 9 |
60-70 | 6 | 15 |
70-80 | 8 | 23 |
80-90 | 2 | 25 |
N=25.So, N/2=12.5
The cumulative frequency just greater than N/2 is 15 and the corresponding class is 60-70.
So, 60-70 is the median class.
Here, the maximum frequency is 9 and the corresponding class is 50-60.
So, the modal class is 50-60.
