Question

The median of an ungrouped data and the median calculated when the same data is grouped are always the same Do you think that this is a correct statement

In order to calculate the median of a grouped data the formula used is based on the assumption that the observations in the classes are uniformly distributed or equally spaced Hence we cannot say that the statement the median of an ungrouped data and the median calculated when the same data is grouped are always the same is always correct
