The heights of 50 girls of Class X of a school are recorded as follows:
Height (in cm) | 135 - 140 | 140 - 145 | 145 - 150 | 150 - 155 | 155 - 160 | 160 - 165 |
Number of girls | 5 | 8 | 9 | 12 | 14 | 2 |
Draw a 'more than type' ogive for the above data.
The frequency distribution table for ‘more than’ type is:
HEIGHT(cm) | CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY (Cf) |
more than 135 | 45 + 5 = 50 |
more than 140 | 37 + 8 = 45 |
more than 145 | 28 + 9 = 37 |
more than 150 | 16 + 12 = 28 |
more than 155 | 2 + 14 = 16 |
more than 160 | 2 |
Lets plot a graph of ‘more than’ ogive, taking lower limits of the class intervals on x - axis and cumulative frequencies on y - axis.
