Example: page 44, problem 2560 65 68 63 6667 69 63 65 6264 73 61 50 6771 62 58 65 6967 72 61 63 max min
range = 73 – 50 = 23 • c.w. = 23 ÷ 6 = 3.8 → 4 • we will start the setup of the class limits with the minimum data value (50), to which we will add the class width (c.w.) • these are the lower limits (where each class begins)
Next we determine the first class’ upper limit (where it ends) by subtracting 1 from the second class’ lower limit • 54 – 1= 53 • then we add again the class width (4) to the upper class’ limits • tally
To find the class boundary we will subtract a half a unit (usually .5) from the lower class limits and add a half a unit (usually .5) to the upper class limits
We obtain the cumulative frequency by adding to the class’ frequency the frequencies of the classes above
OGIVE • Is an open line • Always rises (at least it is horizontal) • On the x-axis: class boundary • On the y-axis: cumulative frequency • Important: label the axis, name your graph
