Simple answer:

Divide the total number of observations (plus 1, if small) by 2 to find the middle rank.

Look at the cumulative frequencies for the grouped data and find the group in which the middle rank would appear. That is the median group.

More sophisticated answer:

Withing the median group, interpolate.

How can you find mean median and mode for GROUPED data?

Mean, median and mode are ways to find averages. The mode is the most common answer in a set of data. The median the number that is in the middle when the numbers are put in order. The mean is the statical average.

What is the formula for getting the median of the ungrouped data?

You will need to put the un-grouped data in ascending or descending order. If you have an odd number of data values the formula for the median value is (n+1)/2. Example my data in ascending order is 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9. I have 7 data values. The median is the value (7+1)/2 = 4th value from left or right which is 5. For an even number of data values, you will need to calculate the median and it may not be a data value. It will be the mean of the two center values. Use the formula n/2 to get the left most value. Example my data in ascending order is 0, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8. I have 6 data values. The left most value I will use to calculate the median is 6/2 = 3rd. The 3rd value from the left is 4. The next value is 5. Median is (4+5)/2 = 4.5.

How can we find the median of grouped data?

You put the numbers in order from least to greatest then, start at the beginning and end, and cross out one... two... three... four..., then so on, until you have only one number in the middle. Example 27,44,45,46,52; cross out 27, then... 52, then... 44, then... 46, then... 45 is the last answer left, so 45, is your answer. man, whoever answered this question is a total fool. they wanted to know how to find the median of GROUPED DATA not just the median. wow what a fool.


What are the categories by which data are grouped?

Data can be grouped or ungrouped. The categories data are grouped in depend on the data. For example, data collected about people could be grouped as male/female, by ages, or some other common characteristic. Data collected about dogs could be grouped by breed of dog, age, long hair/short hair, or size.
