 Median In Discrete Series  
Steps : 
- 
Arrange the data in ascending or descending order of magnitude. 
 - 
Find the cumulative frequencies. 
 - 
Apply the formula : 
- 
If  'n'  =   (odd) then, 
Median =  size of    item 
 - 
If  'n'  =          (even) then, 
Median =        
            Example Locate the median in the following distribution. 
             Size          :   8   10   	12   	14   	16   	18   	20
