Question

The following table gives the distribution of the life time of 400 neon lamps:

$\begin{matrix} Life time & Number of lamps (in hours) 1500 - 2000 & 14 2000 - 2500 & 56 2500 - 3000 & 60 3000 - 3500 & 86 3500 - 4000 & 74 4000 - 4500 & 62 4500 - 5000 & 48 \end{matrix}$

Application: 3 Marks

$\begin{matrix} Life time & Number of & Cumulative (in hours) & lamps & Frequency 1500 - 2000 & 14 & 14 2000 - 2500 & 56 & 70 2500 - 3000 & 60 & 130 3000 - 3500 & 86 & 216 3500 - 4000 & 74 & 290 4000 - 4500 & 62 & 352 4500 - 5000 & 48 & 400 \end{matrix}$

Now, n= 400

So, $\frac{n}{2} = \frac{400}{2} = 200$

This observation lies in the class 3000-3500

So, 3000-3500 is the median class

Therefore, l = 3000, h = 500, cf = 130, f = 86

$∴ M e d i a n = l + (\frac{\frac{n}{2} - c f}{f}) \times h = 3000 + (\frac{200 - 130}{86}) \times 500$

$= 3000 + 406.98 = 3406.98 h o u r s$

Hence, the median life time of a lamp is 3406.98 hours
