The following table shows a frequency distribution for the speed of cars passing through a particular spot on a highway:
Class interval $(km/h)$ Frequency
$30-40$ $3$
$40-50$ $6$
$50-60$ $25$
$60-70$ $65$
$70-80$ $50$
$80-90$ $28$
$90-100$ $14$

(N/A) To draw the histogram and frequency polygon:
$1$. Represent the class intervals $(km/h)$ on the $x$-axis and the frequency on the $y$-axis.
$2$. Draw the histogram by constructing rectangles with widths equal to the class intervals and heights proportional to the frequencies.
$3$. To draw the frequency polygon,mark the midpoints of the top side of each rectangle of the histogram.
$4$. Join these midpoints with straight lines. To complete the polygon,join the first and last midpoints to the midpoints of the preceding and succeeding imaginary class intervals (with frequency $0$) on the $x$-axis.

$A$ football player scored the following number of goals in $10$ matches:
$1, 3, 2, 5, 8, 6, 1, 4, 7, 9$
Since the number of matches is $10$ (an even number),the median is calculated as:
Median $= \frac{5^{\text{th}} \text{ observation} + 6^{\text{th}} \text{ observation}}{2}$
$= \frac{8 + 6}{2} = 7$
Is this the correct answer? If not,why?
