Mathematics
100 pupils in a school have heights as tabulated below :
| Height (in cm) | No. of pupils |
|---|---|
| 121 - 130 | 12 |
| 131 - 140 | 16 |
| 141 - 150 | 30 |
| 151 - 160 | 20 |
| 161 - 170 | 14 |
| 171 - 180 | 8 |
Draw the ogive for the above data and from it determine the median (use graph paper).
