Solution
Steps :
1. Start with lower limits of class intervals and from cumulative frequency , subtract the frequency of each class to obtain c.f distribution .
2. Mark lower class limits along x-axis . 1 cm = 5 units
3. Mark cumulative frequencies along y-axis. 1 cm = 5 units
4. Plot points (x,f) where x is the lower limit of one class and f is the corresponding c.f. (0,100),(10,87),(20,65),(30,55),(40,42),(50,36),(60,31),(70,21),(80,18),(90,7),(100,0)
5. Join the points to get the ogive.
| Marks more than | Cumulative Frequency |
| 0 | 100 |
| 10 | 87 |
| 20 | 65 |
| 30 | 55 |
| 40 | 42 |
| 50 | 36 |
| 60 | 31 |
| 70 | 21 |
| 80 | 18 |
| 90 | 7 |
