The image you shared contains a cumulative frequency graph. To answer the question posed in the image:

### Key Points from the Graph:
- **Q1 (First Quartile):** The cumulative frequency corresponding to 25% of the data.
- **Median (Q2):** The cumulative frequency corresponding to 50% of the data.
- **Q3 (Third Quartile):** The cumulative frequency corresponding to 75% of the data.

The task asks you to estimate the median from the graph, describe the skewness, and justify your reasoning.

### Steps to Answer:

1. **Find the Median:**
   - From the graph, locate the cumulative frequency at the 50% mark (which is typically called the median). Look at the corresponding value on the x-axis. The median seems to occur at around **5** (based on visual inspection of the graph).

2. **Describe the Skewness:**
   - Based on the curve, if the data is **symmetrical**, the median and mean will be close to each other.
   - If the curve rises quickly and then levels off, the data is **right-skewed**.
   - If it rises slowly and then quickly climbs towards the end, the data is **left-skewed**.

   In this graph, the curve seems to rise fairly consistently but is not strongly skewed either way. So, you could say the skewness is **none or very mild**.

3. **Justify the Skewness:**
   - You can write: "The skewness is minimal or none because the cumulative frequency curve rises steadily without a sharp deviation on either side. This implies the distribution is nearly symmetrical."

### Here's how to fill out the response section:
- **The value of the median** can be estimated from the graph as **5**.
- **Describe the skew as** none (or minimal).
- **This makes sense because** the graph shows a steady increase without a clear sharpness indicating asymmetry in either direction.

### Tip:
When analyzing cumulative frequency graphs, always mark the 25%, 50%, and 75% points to quickly identify Q1, median, and Q3, which provide key insights into the data's distribution.
