Median = 24
Hence, median class is 20-30
$\therefore\text{l}=20,\ \text{h}=10,\ \text{f}=\text{a},\ \text{cf}=$ cf of preceding class $=30,\ \frac{\text{N}}{2}=\frac{55+\text{a}}{2}$
Now, median $=\text{l}+\begin{Bmatrix}\text{h}\times\frac{\Big(\frac{\text{N}}{2}-\text{cf}\Big)}{\text{f}}\end{Bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow24=20+\begin{Bmatrix}10\times\frac{\Big(\frac{55+\text{a}}{2}-30\Big)}{2}\end{Bmatrix}$
$\Rightarrow4=10\times\frac{55+\text{a}-60}{2\text{a}}$
$\Rightarrow4=5\times\frac{\text{a}-5}{\text{a}}$
$\Rightarrow4\text{a}=5\text{a}-25$
$\Rightarrow\text{a}=25$
Thus, yhe missung frequency is 25.
