Cumulative frequency distribution table : Marks | No. of students | Cumualtive frequency ----- | --------------- | -------------------- 0-10 | 10 | 10 10-20 | 20 | 30 (10 + 20) 20-30 | 22 | 52 (30 + 22) 30-40 | 40 | 92 (52 + 40) 40-50 | 54 | 146 (92 + 54) 50-60 | 76 | 222 (146 + 76) 60-70 | 80 | 302 (222 + 80) 70-80 | 58 | 360 (302 + 58) 80-90 | 28 | 388 (360 + 28) 90-100 | 12 | 400 (388 + 12) (i) Here, n = 400, which is even. By formula, Median = th term = = 200th term. Steps of construction : 1. Take 1 cm along x-axis = 10 marks. 3. Take 1 cm along y-axis = 50 students. 4. Plot the point (0, 0) as ogive starts on x-axis representing lower limit of first class. 4. Plot the points (10, 10), (20, 30), (30, 52), (40, 92), (50, 146), (60, 222), (70, 302), (80, 360), (90, 388) and (100, 400). 5. Join the points by a free-hand curve. 6. Draw a line parallel to x-axis from point A (no. of students) = 200, touching the graph at point B. From point B draw a line parallel to y-axis touching x-axis at point C. From graph, C = 58 Hence, median = 58. (ii) Total marks = 100. 80% marks = = 80. Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point D(marks) = 80, touching the graph at point E. From point E draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point F. From graph, F = 360. ∴ 360 students score less than or equal to 80%. Students scoring above than 80% = 400 - 360 = 40. Hence, 40 students score more than 80%. (iii) Total marks = 100. 35% marks = = 35. Draw a line parallel to y-axis from point G(marks) = 35, touching the graph at point H. From point H draw a line parallel to x-axis touching y-axis at point I. From graph, I = 72. ∴ 72 students score less than or equal to 35%. Hence, 72 students failed the test.
