Class 9 Maths Chapter 12 Statistics – Exercise 12.4 NCERT Solutions Introduction Exercise 12.4 focuses on median of grouped data. Students learn how to calculate the median using the median formula for frequency distributions. This exercise is important for understanding the central tendency of data and interpreting real‑life datasets. Key Formula For grouped data, median is calculated using: Median = l + ( n 2 − C f ) ⋅ h Where: l = lower limit of median class n = total frequency ( ∑ f i ) C = cumulative frequency before median class f = frequency of median class h = class size Common Mistakes Forgetting to calculate cumulative frequencies. Not identifying the correct median class. Arithmetic errors in numerator and denominator. Confusing median with mean or mode. NCERT Questions with Step‑by‑Step Solutions (10) Q1. Find median of data: Class intervals 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40; frequencies 5, 7, 10, 8. Total frequency n = 30 . Median class = 20–30 (since cumulative frequency ...
