    When the obs ervations are arranged in ascending or descending order, the value which divides them into two parts is called median . Therefore median is that value below and above which 50% of observations lie. Themedian is not influenced by extreme values in the data whereas mean is affected by the outliers. So median is

    better measure than mean in case the data contains extreme values. The calculation of median for ungroupeddata, grouped data and frequency distribution is slightly different .

    Note: The results of median will not be affected by arranging the data in ascending or descending order.

    Median of grouped Data

    For grouped data median is obtained by finding the size of N/2 th value. Here N is the sum of frequenciesand can be even or odd.

    Median of Frequency Distribution

    In case of frequency distribution median can be calculated with the help of following formula.

    Where,

    l = lower class boundary of the median classh = Size of the median class intervalf = Frequency corresponding to the median class

    N = Total number of observations i.e. sum of the frequencies.

    c = Cumulative frequency preceding median class.

    Problem: In a work study investigation, the times taken by 20 men, in a firm, to do a particular job weretabulated as follows: Find the median.
