Expert Answer:

begin mathsize 12px style Now comma space straight N space equals space sum for blank of straight f subscript straight i equals 60 rightwards double arrow 60 space equals space 25 plus straight x plus straight y rightwards double arrow straight x plus straight y equals 35... left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis Since space the space median space is space given space to space be space 5000 comma space it space lies space in space the space class space 4500 minus 5500. rightwards double arrow straight l equals 4500 comma space straight h space equals space 1000 comma space straight f space equals space straight y comma space straight F space equals space 5 plus straight x space and space straight N space equals space 60 Median space equals space straight l space plus space fraction numerator begin display style straight N over 2 end style minus straight F over denominator straight f end fraction cross times straight h rightwards double arrow 5000 space equals 4500 space plus space fraction numerator begin display style 60 over 2 minus left parenthesis 5 plus straight x right parenthesis end style over denominator straight y end fraction cross times 1000 rightwards double arrow 500 equals space fraction numerator begin display style 30 minus 5 minus straight x end style over denominator straight y end fraction cross times 1000 rightwards double arrow 500 straight y equals space left parenthesis 25 minus straight x right parenthesis 1000 rightwards double arrow straight y over 2 equals space left parenthesis 25 minus straight x right parenthesis rightwards double arrow straight y equals 50 minus 2 straight x rightwards double arrow 2 straight x space plus space straight y space equals space 50.... left parenthesis ii right parenthesis from space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis space and space left parenthesis ii right parenthesis comma space we space get 2 straight x space plus space left parenthesis 35 space minus space straight x right parenthesis space equals space 50 rightwards double arrow straight x space equals space 15 Putting space straight x space equals space 15 space in space left parenthesis straight i right parenthesis comma space we space get space straight y space equals space 20. Hence comma space straight x space equals space 15 space and space straight y space equals space 20. end style
