Solution

Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the Problem

We need to determine a possible value of the median age at death due to trauma from the given histogram. The histogram shows the distribution of 50 ages.

Step 2: Identify the Median Position

The median is the middle value in a data set. Since there are 50 ages, the median will be the average of the 25th and 26th values when the data is ordered.

Step 3: Analyze the Histogram

The histogram shows the frequency of ages in different intervals.
The intervals and their frequencies are:
- 10-20: 2
- 20-30: 16
- 30-40: 12
- 40-50: 8
- 50-60: 6
- 60-70: 4
- 70-80: 1
- 80-90: 1

Step 4: Locate the Median Interval

The cumulative frequency up to each interval is:
- 10-20: 2
- 20-30: 18 (2+16)
- 30-40: 30 (18+12)
The 25th and 26th values fall in the 30-40 interval.
