An SBI health insurance agent found the following data for distribution of ages of $\displaystyle 100$ policy holders. The health insurance policies are given to persons of age $\displaystyle 15$ years and onwards, but less than $\displaystyle 60$ years. Age (in yrs) Number of policy holders $\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 20$ $\displaystyle 2$ $\displaystyle 20$-$\displaystyle 25$ $\displaystyle 4$ $\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 30$ $\displaystyle 18$ $\displaystyle 30$-$\displaystyle 35$ $\displaystyle 21$ $\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 40$ $\displaystyle 33$ $\displaystyle 40$-$\displaystyle 45$ $\displaystyle 11$ $\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 50$ $\displaystyle 3$ $\displaystyle 50$-$\displaystyle 55$ $\displaystyle 6$ $\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 60$ $\displaystyle 2$
Find the modal age and median age of the policy holders.
| Age (in yrs) | Number of policy holders |
| $\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 20$ | $\displaystyle 2$ |
| $\displaystyle 20$-$\displaystyle 25$ | $\displaystyle 4$ |
| $\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 30$ | $\displaystyle 18$ |
| $\displaystyle 30$-$\displaystyle 35$ | $\displaystyle 21$ |
| $\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 40$ | $\displaystyle 33$ |
| $\displaystyle 40$-$\displaystyle 45$ | $\displaystyle 11$ |
| $\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 50$ | $\displaystyle 3$ |
| $\displaystyle 50$-$\displaystyle 55$ | $\displaystyle 6$ |
| $\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 60$ | $\displaystyle 2$ |
Marking-scheme solution
Age (in years) & f & cf
$\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 20$ & $\displaystyle 2$ & $\displaystyle 2$
$\displaystyle 20$-$\displaystyle 25$ & $\displaystyle 4$ & $\displaystyle 6$
$\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 30$ & $\displaystyle 18$ & $\displaystyle 24$
$\displaystyle 30$-$\displaystyle 35$ & $\displaystyle 21$ & $\displaystyle 45$
$\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 40$ & $\displaystyle 33$ & $\displaystyle 78$
$\displaystyle 40$-$\displaystyle 45$ & $\displaystyle 11$ & $\displaystyle 89$
$\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 50$ & $\displaystyle 3$ & $\displaystyle 92$
$\displaystyle 50$-$\displaystyle 55$ & $\displaystyle 6$ & $\displaystyle 98$
$\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 60$ & $\displaystyle 2$ & $\displaystyle 100$
Total & $\displaystyle 100$ &Modal class = $\displaystyle 35$- $\displaystyle 40$
Mode \(\displaystyle =35+\frac{33-21}{2(33)-21-11} \times 5\)
\(\displaystyle =\frac{625}{17}=36.7(\) approx.\(\displaystyle )\)
∴ Modal age \(\displaystyle =36.7\) years (approx.)
\(\displaystyle \frac{\mathrm{n}}{2}=50\), Median class \(\displaystyle =35-40\)
Median \(\displaystyle =35+\frac{50-45}{33} \times 5\)
