DESCRIPTION
Cumulative Frequency. How to draw a cumulative frequency graph. If the data is jumbled, sort it out by using a table. 23, 24, 34, 45, 56, 23, 57, 41, 37, 65, 17, 26, 35, 44, 33, 48, 19, 61, 58, 55, 49, 44, 57, 43. You must decide sensible intervals. - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

If the data is jumbled, sort it out by using a table
23, 24, 34, 45, 56, 23, 57, 41, 37, 65, 17, 26, 35, 44, 33, 48, 19, 61, 58, 55, 49, 44, 57, 43
Data Frequency
10 – 20 2
20 – 30 4
30 – 40 5
40 – 50 7
50 – 60 4
60 – 70 2
You must decide sensible intervals
Complete the third column by adding the second column like this:
Data Frequency Cumulative Frequency
10 – 20 2 2
20 – 30 4 2 + 4 = 6
30 – 40 5 2 + 4 + 5 = 11
40 – 50 7 2 + 4 + 5 +7 = 18
50 – 60 4 2 + 4 + 5 +7 + 4 = 22
60 – 70 2 2 + 4 + 5 +7 + 4 + 2 = 24

Plot the second number in the data column against the number in the cumulative frequency column

Lower Q(30)
Median(42)
Upper Q(53)
This means that the middle half is between 30 and 53. Called the
inter-quartile range.53 – 30 = 23
The Lower Quartile is 30
Median is 42
The Upper Quartile is 53

470 / 2 = 235 this gives the median
1 / 4 x 470 = 117.5 this gives lower quartile
3 / 4 x 470 = 352.5 this gives the upper quartile

Q2 1 /2 x 470 = 235th value this gives the median which is about £22.50
Q1 1 / 4 x 470 = 117.5th value this gives lower quartile Q1 which is about £17.70
Q3 3 / 4 x 470 = 352.5th value this gives the upper quartile Q3 which is about £27.70
