Following data shows the number of family members living in different bungalows of a locality :
If the median number of members is found to be $\displaystyle 5$, find the values of p and q.
| Number of Members | $\displaystyle 0$-$\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 2$-$\displaystyle 4$ | $\displaystyle 4$-$\displaystyle 6$ | $\displaystyle 6$-$\displaystyle 8$ | $\displaystyle 8$-$\displaystyle 10$ | Total |
| Number of Bungalows | $\displaystyle 10$ | p | $\displaystyle 60$ | q | $\displaystyle 5$ | $\displaystyle 120$ |
Marking-scheme solution
| Number of members | Number of bungalows | Cumulative frequency |
| $\displaystyle 0$-$\displaystyle 2$ | $\displaystyle 10$ | $\displaystyle 10$ |
| $\displaystyle 2$-$\displaystyle 4$ | p | \(\displaystyle 10+\mathrm{p}\) |
| $\displaystyle 4$-$\displaystyle 6$ | $\displaystyle 60$ | \(\displaystyle 70+\mathrm{p}\) |
| $\displaystyle 6$-$\displaystyle 8$ | q | \(\displaystyle 70+\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}\) |
| $\displaystyle 8$-$\displaystyle 10$ | $\displaystyle 5$ | \(\displaystyle 75+\mathrm{p}+\mathrm{q}\) |
| $\displaystyle 120$ |
