Mean = fm/f

= 2117/49

= 43.20

Median = l+(N/2−F/f) × h

where l = lower limit of the median class

f = frequency of the median class

F = cumulative frequency of the class preceding the median class

N = total number of observations

h = width of the median class

Median = 40.5 + (49/2 – 18 / 10) × 5

= 40.5 + 3.25

= 43.25

Mode = L + (fm − fm-1)/(fm − fm-1) + (fm − fm+1) × w

where:

L is the lower-class boundary of the modal group

fm-1 is the frequency of the group before the modal group

fm is the frequency of the modal group

fm+1 is the frequency of the group after the modal group

w is the group width

= 40. 5 + (10 – 5 / (10-5)+(10-8) × 5

= 40.5 + 3.125

= 43.125
