The given data can be shown as:

Weight

(kg)

Number of Infant

Up to 2.500

4

Up to 2.600

10

Up to 2.750

18

50

Up to 3.250

58

Here, we need to find the weight of infant.

From the table it can be inferred that the weight of the 29th infant to the 40th infant is 3.000 kg.

So, the weight of the 35th infant is 3.000 kg.

Thus, the median weight of the infants born during the week in the hospital is 3.000 kg.
