1. **State the problem:** We need to find the median from an ungrouped frequency table with times and their corresponding frequencies.
2. **Given data:**
Time (seconds): 4, 5, 6
Frequency: 4, 1, 5
3. **Formula and concept:**
The median is the middle value when all data points are arranged in order. For frequency data, first find the total number of observations $N = \sum f_i$.
4. **Calculate total frequency:**
$$N = 4 + 1 + 5 = 10$$
5. **Find the median position:**
Since $N=10$ (even), the median is the average of the $\frac{N}{2}$th and $\left(\frac{N}{2} + 1\right)$th values.
So median position is between the 5th and 6th data points.
6. **Construct cumulative frequency table:**
- For time 4: cumulative frequency = 4
- For time 5: cumulative frequency = 4 + 1 = 5
- For time 6: cumulative frequency = 5 + 5 = 10
7. **Locate median class:**
The 5th data point corresponds to time 5 (since cumulative frequency reaches 5 at time 5).
The 6th data point corresponds to time 6 (since cumulative frequency jumps to 10 at time 6).
8. **Calculate median:**
Median = average of 5th and 6th values = $\frac{5 + 6}{2} = \frac{11}{2} = 5.5$
**Final answer:** The median time is $5.5$ seconds.
