median of grouped frequency data
Given the data below
calculate the median of the data in MATLAB
I have the code below
class_intervals = [420 430; 430 440; 440 450; 450 460; 460 470; 470 480; 480 490; 490 500];
frequencies = [336, 2112, 2336, 1074, 1553, 1336, 736, 85];
% Calculate the cumulative frequencies
cum_frequencies = cumsum(frequencies)
% Calculate the total number of observations
N = sum(frequencies);
% Find the median class (where cumulative frequency exceeds N/2)
median_class_index = find(cum_frequencies >= N/2, 1)
% Extract the lower boundary, frequency, and cumulative frequency of the class before the median class
L = class_intervals(median_class_index, 1) % lower boundary of the median class
f = frequencies(median_class_index) % frequency of the median class
if median_class_index == 1
cf = 0; % cumulative frequency before the median class
else
cf = cum_frequencies(median_class_index – 1) % cumulative frequency before the median class
end
% Calculate the width of the median class interval
h = class_intervals(median_class_index, 2) – class_intervals(median_class_index, 1)
% Calculate the median using the formula
median = L + ((N/2 – cf) / f) * h
However I was wondering if instead of calculating it manually is there any inbuilt function in MATLAB to calculate median of grouped data.Given the data below
