goals scored\nwhat was the median number of goals scored?

Explanation:

Step1: Find the total number of data - points

We add up the frequencies. $2 + 1+1 + 1+3 + 5=13$.

Step2: Determine the position of the median

For a set of $n = 13$ data - points (where $n$ is odd), the median is at the $\frac{n + 1}{2}=\frac{13+1}{2}=7$th position when the data is arranged in ascending order.

Step3: Cumulative frequency calculation

The cumulative frequencies are: For $0$ goals, cumulative frequency $= 2$; for $1$ goal, cumulative frequency $=2 + 1=3$; for $2$ goals, cumulative frequency $=3 + 1=4$; for $3$ goals, cumulative frequency $=4 + 1=5$; for $4$ goals, cumulative frequency $=5 + 3=8$. Since the $7$th value falls within the group of $4$ goals (as the cumulative frequency first exceeds $7$ when we reach the $4$ - goals group).
