Hi,

Has Anyone used R for descriptive statistics of Grouped Data. I have
an example below

Can someone calculate the Median of the following data using R

Miles Driven ? ? ? ? ? ? Number of Residents
0-2999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 10
3000-5999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 28
6000-8999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 46
9000-11,999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?32
12,000-14999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?24
15000-19,999 ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? 11
20000 and over ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? 7

what is the median number of miles driven per resident for this sample using R

I can do this manually but I need to figure out this can be done using
R. I am not looking for an exact solution to this but to some pointers
or a nice example

thanks
-amit

Look for wtd.quantile() but since the values are categorical you have  
some further implementation details to address.
