Solution
The given frequency distribution is in the inclusive form. First, we convert it into exclusive form.
Now, consider the classes 1-3, 4-6.
The lower limit of 4-6 is 4.
The upper limit of 1-3 is 3.
Thus, the half of the difference is 4−32=12=0.5
So, we subtract 0.5 from each lower limit and add 0.5 to each upper limit.
The table for continuous grouped frequency distribution is given below.

Now we will draw the less than frequency curve by taking upper boundary on X-axis and less than CF on Y-axis with suitable scale.
