Find the median for the following distribution :

Wages per day (in ₹)	No. of workers
38	14
45	8
48	7
55	10
62	6
65	2

The given variates (wages) are already in ascending order. We construct the cumulative frequency table as under :

Here, n (total no. of workers) = 47, which is odd.

$\therefore \text{Median} = \dfrac{n + 1}{2} \text{th observation} \\[1em] = \dfrac{47 + 1}{2} \\[1em] = \dfrac{48}{2} \\[1em] = 24 \text{th observation}$

All observations from 23rd to 29th are equal, each = 48.

Hence, median = ₹48.
