Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
155
(155)
Arranging the data in ascending order of magnitude, we obtain
Height (in cm) | 150 | 152 | 154 | 155 | 156 | 160 | 161 |
Number of students | 8 | 4 | 3 | 7 | 3 | 12 | 4 |
Cumulative frequency | 8 | 12 | 15 | 22 | 25 | 37 | 41 |
Here, total number of items is 41 , which is an odd number.
Hence, the median is 
th 
st item.
From cumulative frequency table, we find that median i.e. 21 st item is 155
