The International Yoga Day is celebrated on $\displaystyle 21{ }^{\text {st }}$ of June every year since 2015. To promote Yoga, Green park society in Pune organised a $\displaystyle 7$-day Yoga camp in their society. The number of people of different age groups who enrolled for this camp is given as follows :
Age Group $\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 25$ $\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 35$ $\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 45$ $\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 55$ $\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 65$ $\displaystyle 65$-$\displaystyle 75$ $\displaystyle 75$-$\displaystyle 85$ Number of People $\displaystyle 8$ $\displaystyle 10$ $\displaystyle 15$ $\displaystyle 25$ $\displaystyle 40$ $\displaystyle 24$ $\displaystyle 18$
Based on the above, find the following :(a)Find the median age of people enrolled for the camp.(b)If $\displaystyle x$ more people of age group $\displaystyle 65$-$\displaystyle 75$ had enrolled for the camp, the mean age would have been 58. Find the value of $\displaystyle x$.

| Age Group | $\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 25$ | $\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 35$ | $\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 45$ | $\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 55$ | $\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 65$ | $\displaystyle 65$-$\displaystyle 75$ | $\displaystyle 75$-$\displaystyle 85$ |
| Number of People | $\displaystyle 8$ | $\displaystyle 10$ | $\displaystyle 15$ | $\displaystyle 25$ | $\displaystyle 40$ | $\displaystyle 24$ | $\displaystyle 18$ |
(a)
Find the median age of people enrolled for the camp.
(b)
If $\displaystyle x$ more people of age group $\displaystyle 65$-$\displaystyle 75$ had enrolled for the camp, the mean age would have been 58. Find the value of $\displaystyle x$.
Marking-scheme solution
(a)
| Age Group | No. of people (f) | Cf |
| $\displaystyle 15$-$\displaystyle 25$ | $\displaystyle 8$ | $\displaystyle 8$ |
| $\displaystyle 25$-$\displaystyle 35$ | $\displaystyle 10$ | $\displaystyle 18$ |
| $\displaystyle 35$-$\displaystyle 45$ | $\displaystyle 15$ | $\displaystyle 33$ |
| $\displaystyle 45$-$\displaystyle 55$ | $\displaystyle 25$ | $\displaystyle 58$ |
| $\displaystyle 55$-$\displaystyle 65$ | $\displaystyle 40$ | $\displaystyle 98$ |
| $\displaystyle 65$-$\displaystyle 75$ | $\displaystyle 24$ | $\displaystyle 122$ |
| $\displaystyle 75$-$\displaystyle 85$ | $\displaystyle 18$ | $\displaystyle 140$ |
\[\begin{aligned}
& N=140, \therefore \frac{N}{2}=70 \text {, which corresponds to 55-65 } \\
& \therefore \text { Median class }=55-65 \\
& \therefore l=55, f=40, c f=58, h=10 \\
& \text { Median }=l+\frac{\dfrac{N}{2}-c f}{f} \times h \\
& \quad=55+\frac{70-58}{40} \times 10=55+3=58 \\
& \therefore \text { Median }=58
\end{aligned}
