How do you find the median on a cumulative frequency graph?

Answer 1

Plot the cumulative frequency on the y axis is as easy as going halfway and drawing a horizontal line to your graph, then drawing a vertical line down to the X axis and reading your answer where it hits the graph.

To find the median on a cumulative frequency graph, follow these steps:

Identify the total frequency (the last value on the cumulative frequency axis).
Divide the total frequency by 2 to find the median position.
Locate this position on the cumulative frequency axis.
Draw a horizontal line from this point to the cumulative frequency curve.
Then draw a vertical line down to the x-axis.
The point where this vertical line intersects the x-axis is the median.
