| Class Interval | 10 – 15 | 15 – 20 | 20 – 25 | 25 – 30 | 30 – 35 | 35 – 40 |

Solution
| Class Interval | Frequency | C.F. |
| 10 – 15 | 10 | 10 |
| 15 – 20 | 15 | 10 + 15 = 25 |
| 20 – 25 | 17 | 25 + 17 = 42 |
| 25 – 30 | 12 | 42 + 12 = 54 |
| 30 – 35 | 10 | 54 + 10 = 64 |
| 35 – 40 | 08 | 64 + 8 = 72 |
Taking upper class limits along x-axis and corresponding cumulative frequencies along y-axis, mark the points (10, 0), (15, 10), (20, 25), (25, 42), (30, 54), (35, 64) and (40, 72).
