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.
