Question
The weight of 50 workers is given below:
| Weight in Kg | 50-60 | 60-70 | 70-80 | 80-90 | 90-100 | 100-110 | 110-120 |
| No. of Workers | 4 | 7 | 11 | 14 | 6 | 5 | 3 |
Draw an ogive of the given distribution using a graph sheet. Take 2 cm = 10 kg on one axis and 2 cm = 5 workers along the other axis. Use a graph to estimate the following:
1) The upper and lower quartiles.
2) If weighing 95 kg and above is considered overweight, find the number of workers who are overweight.

Solution
The cumulative frequency table of the given distribution table is as follows:
| Weight in Kg | Number of workers | Cumulative frequency |
| 50-60 | 4 | 4 |
| 60-70 | 7 | 11 |
| 70-80 | 11 | 22 |
| 80-90 | 14 | 36 |
| 90-100 | 6 | 42 |
| 100-110 | 5 | 47 |
| 110-120 | 3 | 50 |
The ogive is as follows:
Number of worker = 50
1) Upper quartile (Q3) = `((3 xx 50)/4)^"th"` term = `(37.5)^th` term = 92
Lower quartile (`Q_1`) = `(50/4)^"th"` term = `(12.5)^"th"` term = 71.1
2) Through mark of 95 on the x-axis, draw a vertical line which meets the graph at point C.
Then through point C, draw a horizontal line which meets the y-axis at the mark of 39
Thus, number of workers weighing 95 kg and above = 50 - 39 = 11
