|---|---|
| 24 - 29 | 1 |
| 29 - 34 | 2 |
| 34 - 39 | 5 |
| 39 - 44 | 6 |
| 44 - 49 | 4 |
| 49 - 54 | 3 |
| 54 - 59 | 2 |

To draw an ogive :
- The cumulative frequency table for the given continuous distribution is :
| Marks obtained | No. of students | Cumulative frequency |
|---|---|---|
| 24 - 29 | 1 | 1 |
| 29 - 34 | 2 | 3 |
| 34 - 39 | 5 | 8 |
| 39 - 44 | 6 | 14 |
| 44 - 49 | 4 | 18 |
| 49 - 54 | 3 | 21 |
| 54 - 59 | 2 | 23 |
Since, the scale on x-axis starts at 24, a kink is shown near the origin on x-axis to indicate that the graph is drawn to scale beginning at 24.
Take 1 cm along x-axis = 5 marks
Take 1 cm along y-axis = 5 (students)
- Plot the points (29, 1), (34, 3), (39, 8), (44, 14), (49, 18), (54, 21) and (59, 23) representing upper class limits and the respective cumulative frequencies.
Also plot the point representing lower limit of the first class i.e. 24 - 29.
- Join these points by a freehand drawing.
The required cumulative frequency curve is shown in figure above.
