We know, total frequency = 44
So, 31 + f1 + f2 = 44
or, f1 + f2 = 13

Median is given as 28.Median class is given by the size of N2th item, i.e size of 442th, which is the 22nd item. This corresponds to the class interval 20-30, so this is the median class. M = l1+N2th-c.ff×i28= 20 +22-(3+f1)15×1028-20=22-(3+f1)15÷108×1.5=22-3-f1f1=7

As, we know f1 + f2 = 13, and f1 is 7, so, f2 becomes (13-7 =) 6 .
