less than 10

less than 15

less than 20

less than 25

less than 30

less than 35

less than 40

less than 45

Q.. Draw a 'less than' ogive and 'more than' ogive to represent the above data .

Q... Find median for the above data by interpreting the graph.

Q...why regularity is essential in students life (VBQ)

Class intervals  Frequency  Cumulative frequency less than cumulative frequency more than
0-5 29 less than 5  = 29 more than 0 = 655
5-10 195 less than 10 = 224 more than 5 = 626
10-15 241 less than 15 = 465 more than 10 = 431
15-20 117 less than 20 = 582 more than 15 = 190
20-25 52 less than 25 = 634 more than 20 = 73
25-30 10 less than 30 = 644 more than 25 = 21
30-35 6 less than 35 = 650 more than 30 = 11
35-40 3 less than 40 = 653 more than 35 = 5
40-45 2 less than 45 = 655 more than 40 = 2


For less than Ogive, we plot the following points :
(5,29); (10, 224); (15, 465); (20, 582); (25, 634); (30, 644), (35, 650); (40, 653) and (45, 655).
For more than Ogive, we plot the following points :
(0,655);(5,626); (10,431); (15,190); (20,73); (25,21); (30, 11); (35,5) and (40, 2).








From the intersection of two Ogives, we draw a perpendicular on x - axis, that meets x-axis at 12.15.

So, median  12.15
