[Virtual Presenter] Hello students and welcome to our training video. In today's lesson, we will be discussing the concept of median starting salary for fresh graduates. Specifically, we will be looking at a sample of 50 graduates and how their starting salaries were calculated using the frequency distribution, class intervals, and cumulative frequencies. So let's begin with the first slide. As you can see, the slide displays the frequency distribution of the starting annual salary of our sample of 50 fresh graduates. The salaries are listed in Kenyan Shillings and the number of graduates for each salary range is also provided. Now, our main objective for this lesson is to calculate the median starting salary for this group of graduates. As some of you may already know, the median is the mid-point of a data set, dividing it into two equal parts. And in order to calculate the median, we will be using the formula shown on the slide. First, we need to determine the median class. Using the rule (N+1)/2, we find that the median class is 63-73 with a median frequency of 11. Now, substituting the values in the formula, we get a median starting salary of KSh. 668600 or 66.86 in thousands. In conclusion, the median starting salary for this sample of 50 graduates is 668600 and this information can be used to better understand the earning potential of fresh graduates in the current job market. Thank you for watching and I hope this lesson has been informative and useful. See you in the next video!.
