MCQ
Choose the correct answer from the given four options : For the following distribution :
Class $0-5$ $5-10$ $10-15$ $15-20$ $20-25$
Frequency $10$ $15$ $12$ $20$ $9$
the sum of lower limits of the median class and modal class is :
  • A
    $15$
  • $25$
  • C
    $30$
  • D
    $35$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$25$
Here,
Class Frequency Cumulative frequency
$0-5$ $10$ $10$
$5-10$ $15$ $25$
$10-15$ $12$ $37$
$15-20$ $20$ $57$
$20-25$ $9$ $66$
Now, $\frac{\text{N}}{2}=\frac{66}{2}=33,$ which lies in the interval $10-15.$
Therefore, lower limit of the median class is $10.$
The highest frequency is $20,$ which lies in the interval $15-20$.
Therefore, lower limit of modal class is $15.$
Hence, required sum is $10 + 15 = 25.$
