Now take a point A (30.5) on y-axis and from A,

draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P

and from P, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting is at Q.

∴ Q is the median which is 35.

(110, 78), (120, 90), (130, 100) on the graph and join them

Age (years)5-1515-2525-3535-4545-5555-6565-75
No. of casualties due to accidents61015132487

(i) Construct the ‘less than’ cumulative frequency curve for the above data, using 2 cm = 10 years, on one axis and 2 cm = 10 casualties on the other.

(ii) From your graph determine (1) the median and (2) the upper quartile

Sol :

Less than 351531
Less than 451344
Less than 552468

and (75, 83) on the graph and join these points in free hand

to form a cumulative frequency curve (ogive) as shown.

Here n = 83, which is odd.






















(i) Median = $=\frac{n+1}{2}=\frac{83+1}{2}+\frac{84}{2}=42$
Now we take point A (42) on y-axis and from A,
draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P
and from P, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at Q.
Q is the median which is = 43

(ii) Upper quartile $=\frac{3(n+1)}{4}=\frac{3 \times(83+1)}{4}=\frac{252}{4}=63$

Take a point B 63 on y-axis and from B,

draw a parallel line to x-axis meeting the curve at L.

From L, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at M which is 52.

∴ Upper quartile = 52 years

(110, 47), (120, 50) Join these points by using freehand drawing.
The required ogive is drawn on the graph paper.
Here n = number of workers = 50
(i) To find upper quartile:
Let A be the point on y-axis representing a frequency
$\frac{3 n}{4}=\frac{3 \times 50}{4}=37.5$
Through A, draw a horizontal line to meet the ogive at B.
Through B draw a vertical line to meet the x-axis at C.
The abscissa of the point C represents 92.5 kg.
The upper quartile = 92.5 kg To find the lower quartile:
Let D be the point on y-axis representing frequency$=\frac{n}{4}=\frac{50}{4}=12.5$
Through D, draw a horizontal line to meet the ogive at E.
Through E draw a vertical line to meet the x-axis at F.
The abscissa of the point F represents 72 kg.
∴ The lower quartile = 72 kg
(ii) On the graph point, G represents 95 kg.
Through G draw a vertical line to meet the ogive at H.
Through H, draw a horizontal line to meet y-axis at 1.
The ordinate of point 1 represents 40 workers on the y-axis .
∴The number of workers who are 95 kg and above
= Total number of workers – number of workers of weight less than 95 kg
= 50 – 40 = 10

which meet it at D. which is 31.

The interquartile range is 31.

Scores : From 85 on x-axis, draw a perpendicular to it meeting the curve at P.

From P, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at Q.

Q is the required point which is 89.

Number of shooter getting more than 85% scores = 160 – 149 = 11.

Use a graph paper to draw an ogive for the above distribution. (Use a scale of 2 cm = Rs 50 on x- axis and 2 cm = 10 workers on y-axis). Use your ogive to estimate:
(i) the median wage of the workers.

Through mark 40 on the y-axis, draw a horizontal line
which meets the curve at point A.

























Through point A, on the curve draw a vertical line which meets the x-axis at point B.
The value of point B on the x-axis is the median, which is 604.

(iii) Through mark 625 on x-axis, draw a vertical line which meets the graph at point C.

Then through point C, draw a horizontal line which meets the y-axis at the mark of 50.

Thus, number of workers that earn more Rs 625 daily = 80 – 50 = 30

From 240 on y-axis, draw a line perpendicular on the x-axis which meets the curve at S.

number of students weighing 55 kg or more = 200 – 44 = 156

Percentage $=\frac{156}{200} \times 100=78 \%$

(ii) 30% of 200 $=\frac{200 \times 30}{100}=60$

∴ Heaviest 60 students in weight = 9 + 20 + 31 = 60

(From the graph, the required weight is 65 kg or more but less than 80 kg)


(iii) Total number of students who are

1. under weight = 47 and

Now we plot the points (10, 5), (20, 14), (30, 30), (40, 52), (50, 78), (60, 96), (70, 107),

(80, 113), (90, 117) and (100, 120) on the graph

and join the points in a free hand to form an ogive as shown.

Here n = 120 which is an even number


(i) Median $=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{120}{2}+\left(\frac{120}{2}+1\right)\right]$

$=\frac{1}{2}(60+61)=60.5$

Now take a point A (60.5) on y-axis and from A

draw a line parallel to x- axis meeting the curve in P

and from P, draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at Q.

∴ Q is the median which is 43.00 (approx.)


(ii) Lower quartile $=\frac{n}{4}=\frac{120}{4}=30$

Now take a point B (30) on y-axis and from B,

draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve in L

and from L draw a perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at M.

M is the lower quartile which is 30.

(iii) Take a point C (75) on the x-axis

and from C draw a line perpendicular to it meeting the curve at R.

From R, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting y-axis at S.

∴S shows 110 students getting below 75%

and 120 – 110 = 10 students getting more than 75% marks.

(iv) Pass percentage is 40%

Now take a point D (40) on x-axis and from D

draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting the curve at E

and from E, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the y-axis at F.

∴ F shows 52

∴ No of students who could not get 40% and failed in the examination are 52.

Draw an ogive for the given distribution taking 2 cm = 5 cm of height on one axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the other axis. Using the graph, determine :
(i)The median height.
(ii)The inter quartile range.
(iii) The number of students whose height is above 172 cm.

(170, 140), (175, 152) and (180, 160). Join these points by a free hand curve to get the ogive.

(i) Here N = 160
$\frac{N}{2}=80$
On the graph paper take a point A on the y- axis representing 80.
A draw horizontal line meeting the ogive at B.
From B, draw BC ⊥ x-axis, meeting the x-axis at C. The abscissa of C is 157.5
So, median = 157.5 cm

(ii) Proceeding in the same way as we have done in above,
we have, Q1 = 152 and Q3 = 164 So, interquartile range = Q3 – Q1 = 164 – 152 = 12 cm

(iii) From the ogive, we see that the number of students whose height is less than 172 is 145.
No. of students whose height is above 172 cm = 160 – 145 = 15

130.5-140.51628
140.5-150.53058
150.5-160.52078
160.5-170.51492
170.5-180.58100






















∴ Here n = 100 which is an even number
∴ Median = 
$\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{n}{2}+\left(\frac{n}{2}+1\right)\right]$
$=\frac{1}{2}\left[\frac{100}{2}+\left(\frac{100}{2}+1\right)\right]$
$=\frac{1}{2}(50+51)=\frac{101}{2}$
=50.5
Now plot points (130.5, 12), (140.5, 28), (150.5, 58), (160.5, 78), (170.5, 92)
and (180.5, 100) on the graph and join them in free hand to form an ogive as shown.
Now take a point A (50-5) on y-axis and from A
draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P
and from P, draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting it at Q
∴ Q (147.5) is the median.
