The following are the ages of 300 patients getting medical treatment in a hospital on a particular day:
Age(in years) | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 |
No. of patients | 60 | 42 | 55 | 70 | 53 | 20 |
Form:(1) less than type cumulative frequency distribution
(2)more than type cumulative frequency distribution
The following are the ages of 300 patients getting medical treatment in a hospital on a particular day:
Age(in years) | 10-20 | 20-30 | 30-40 | 40-50 | 50-60 | 60-70 |
No. of patients | 60 | 42 | 55 | 70 | 53 | 20 |
Form:
(1) less than type cumulative frequency distribution
(2)more than type cumulative frequency distribution
Solution:
(1)
Age(in years) | less than or equal to 20 | less than or equal to 30 | less than or equal to 40 | less than or equal to 50 | less than or equal to 60 | less than or equal to 70 |
Cumulative frequency | 60 | 60+42=102 | 102+55=157 | 157+70=227 | 227+53=280 | 280+20=300 |
(2)
Age(in years) | more than or equal to 10 | more than or equal to 20 | more than or equal to 30 | more than or equal to 40 | more than or equal to 50 | more than or equal to 60 |
Cumulative frequency | 300 | 300-60=240 | 240-42=198 | 198-55=143 | 143-70=73 | 73-53=20 |
