The following table gives the height of trees:


Height



No. of trees



Less than 7



26



Less than 14



57



Less than 21



92



Less than 28



134



Less than 35



216



Less than 42



287



Less than 49



341



Less than 56



360



Draw ‘less than’ ogive and ‘more than’ ogive.

Less than method, it is given that:


Height



No. of trees



Less than 7



26



Less than 14



57



Less than 21



92



Less than 28



134



Less than 35



216



Less than 42



287



Less than 49



341



Less than 56



360



Now we mark the upper class limits along x-axis and cumulative frequency along y-axis. Thus, we plot the points: (7,26); (14,57); (21,92); (28,134); (35,216); (42,287); (49,341); (56,360)


More than method: We will prepare the cumulative frequency table by more than method as given below:


Height

0-7

7-14

334



14-21

21-28

42-49

49-56

Now we mark,


On x-axis lower class limit and on y-axis Cumulative frequency


Thus, we plot graph as (0,360); (7,334); (14,303); (21,263); (28,226); (35,144); (42,73); (49,19)
