Question

An ogive is used to determine:

Options

• mean

• median

• mode

• none of these

Answer 1

Median

Explanation:

An ogive (cumulative-frequency curve) plots cumulative frequency against the variable; to find the median you locate the cumulative frequency value `N/2` on the y‑axis, draw a horizontal line to the ogive and then a vertical down to the x‑axis. The x‑value is the median.
