Question:

The cumulative frequency table of marks is given. Then, the number of students scoring between 20 and 40 is: \[ \begin{array}{c|ccccc} {Marks} & \le 10 & \le 20 & \le 30 & \le 40 & \le 50 \\ \hline {Frequency} & 5 & 12 & 26 & 37 & 50 \end{array} \]

Show Hint

In cumulative frequency, subtract successive values to get class frequency.

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Concept: For cumulative frequency: \[ {Frequency between two values} = f(\le {upper}) - f(\le {lower}) \]
Step 1: Identify values.
\[ f(\le 40) = 37,\quad f(\le 20) = 12 \]
Step 2: Subtract.
\[ 37 - 12 = 25 \]
Hence, the number of students is 25.
