During a medical checkup, height of $\displaystyle 35$ students of a class were recorded as follows:
Find the difference between the mean height and median height.
| Height (in cm) | $\displaystyle 90$-$\displaystyle 100$ | $\displaystyle 100$-$\displaystyle 110$ | $\displaystyle 110$-$\displaystyle 120$ | $\displaystyle 120$-$\displaystyle 130$ | $\displaystyle 130$-$\displaystyle 140$ | $\displaystyle 140$-$\displaystyle 150$ |
| Number of Students | $\displaystyle 3$ | $\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 4$ | $\displaystyle 5$ | $\displaystyle 14$ | $\displaystyle 7$ |
Marking-scheme solution
| Height (in cm) | Number of Students \(\displaystyle \left(f_{\mathrm{i}}\right)\) | \(\displaystyle x_{\mathrm{i}}\) | \(\displaystyle u_{\mathrm{i}=\frac{x_{i}-115}{10}}^{10}\) | \(\displaystyle f_{\mathrm{i}} u_{\mathrm{i}}\) | \(\displaystyle c f\) |
| $\displaystyle 90$-$\displaystyle 100$ | $\displaystyle 3$ | $\displaystyle 95$ | -$\displaystyle 2$ | -$\displaystyle 6$ | $\displaystyle 3$ |
| $\displaystyle 100$-$\displaystyle 110$ | $\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 105$ | -$\displaystyle 1$ | -$\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 5$ |
| $\displaystyle 110$-$\displaystyle 120$ | $\displaystyle 4$ | $\displaystyle 115$ = a | $\displaystyle 0$ | $\displaystyle 0$ | $\displaystyle 9$ |
| $\displaystyle 120$-$\displaystyle 130$ | $\displaystyle 5$ | $\displaystyle 125$ | $\displaystyle 1$ | $\displaystyle 5$ | $\displaystyle 14$ |
| $\displaystyle 130$-$\displaystyle 140$ | $\displaystyle 14$ | $\displaystyle 135$ | $\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 28$ | $\displaystyle 28$ |
| $\displaystyle 140$-$\displaystyle 150$ | $\displaystyle 7$ | $\displaystyle 145$ | $\displaystyle 3$ | $\displaystyle 21$ | $\displaystyle 35$ |
| Total | $\displaystyle 35$ | $\displaystyle 46$ |
