Time

(in minutes)

0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35
No. of students 13 5 18 24 8 1 1
Options:

5-10

10-15

15-20

30-35

Correct Answer:

10-15

Explanation:

To find the median class:

First add the total number of frequencies.

Here, f=70

=(Total number of frequency/)2

=(70)/2 = 35

Hence, the value 35 lies in the class interval 10-15 from the cummulative frequency table.

The correct answer is option (2) : 10-15
