Solution

The given data is:
Valuefcf
111
234
326
4410
5818
6220
n=20
Here, n is even.
We know that, for even number of observations, the median is the mean of (n2)th and (n2+1)th observation.
Hence, the median here will be the mean of (202)th and (202+1)th observation.
That is, the 10th and 11th observation.
From the table shown above, we can see that the tenth observation is 4 and the eleventh observation is 5.
Hence median =4+52
=92

=4.5

Hence, the median of the given data is 4.5.
