Question

Estimate the median of the distribution of drinks.
Hint: Think about the 50th percentile.

Answer 1

25 grams

Explanation:

The relative cumulative frequency gives us an equivalent of the percentiles of the distribution.

Thus,
`50^(the)` percentile is equivalent to a relative cumulative frequency of 0.5.

The median is roughly the 50th percentile, which is a cumulative frequency of 0.5.

From the graph, the grams of sugar on the x-axis that corresponds to a cumulative frequency of 0.5 on the y-axis, is 25 grams.

Therefore, the median is 25 grams.
