How to draw and use…. . Cumulative frequency graphs
Cumulative frequency is just… A running total
Look at these tables Age, a (years) Frequency Cumulative frequency 5 < a ≤ 12 3 Age, a (years) ≤ 12 12 < a ≤ 20 9 ≤ 20 12 (3+9) 20 < a ≤ 30 17 ≤ 30 29 (3+9+17) 30 < a ≤ 40 10 ≤ 40 39 (3+9+17+10) 40 < a ≤ 60 5 ≤ 60 44 (3+9+17+10+5) 3
Once we have calculated the cumulative frequency We don’t need the frequency any more.
We can use our results to draw a cumulative frequency curve Age, a (years) Along the ‘x’ axis ≤ 12 Cumulative frequency 7 Up the ‘y’ axis ≤ 20 19 ≤ 30 36 ≤ 40 42 ≤ 60 44
Plot the points Cumulative frequency 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Age (years)
Draw the curve Cumulative frequency 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Age (years)
Now draw in the median • Remember it is halfway up the cumulative frequency axis – in this case 22
Median…… Cumulative frequency 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 0 halfway up Read off here 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Age (years)
The median is ……. . (about) 26.
Now for the lower quartile Quarter of the way up the Cumulative frequency axis
Lower Quartile Cumulative frequency 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 0 11 – quarter of 44 Read off here 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Age (years)
So the lower quartile is …. 19
Upper quartile Three quarters of the way up the Cumulative frequency axis
Upper quartile Cumulative frequency 44 40 36 32 28 24 20 16 12 8 4 0 33 – three quarters of 44 Read off here 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 Age (years)
The upper quartile is …. 32
Inter-Quartile range Upper quartile – lower quartile
Upper quartile – lower quartile 32 - 19
Inter-quartile range = 13
