Question
The weight of 50 workers is given below:
Weight in KgNo. of Workers50−60460−70770−801180−901490−1006100−1105110−1203
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:
(i) the upper and lower quartiles
(ii) If weighing 95 kg and above is considered overweight, find the number of workers who are overweight. [6 MARKS]
