Summary

Summary

Cumulative frequency • • Running total of the frequencies Plot against the upper class

Cumulative frequency • • Running total of the frequencies Plot against the upper class boundaries Draw a smooth curve thru’ the points Take half the total frequency and use that to read off a value of the median • Find the Lower Quartile and the Upper Quartile • Find the Inter-quartile range by subtracting
