Question

Choose the ogive curve for the given data.

$$\begin{array}{cc}Marks& Numberofstudents\\ >05& 48\\ >10& 45\\ >15& 39\\ >20& 30\\ >25& 18\\ >30& 10\end{array}$$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is D

In order to plot a more than type ogive, the lower limits of class intervals are plotted on x – axis which is usually known as horizontal axis. Whereas the y – axis is used to plot the cumulative frequencies. This axis is perpendicular to horizontal axis and is called as vertical axis.

The points are (5,48) , (10,45) , (15 ,39) , (20,30) , (25,18) and (30,10).

By plotting the points, we get the above curve as the greater than ogive curve for the given data.
