Use the ogive to approximate
the height for which the cumulative frequency is 15.
Graph showing cumulative frequency of adult males' heights, with data points plotted from 64 to 76 inches.

Step 1: Understand the ogive graph. An ogive is a cumulative frequency graph that shows the cumulative frequency of data points up to a certain value. The x-axis represents the height (in inches), and the y-axis represents the cumulative frequency.
Step 2: Locate the cumulative frequency of 15 on the y-axis. This is the target value for which we need to approximate the corresponding height.
Step 3: Draw a horizontal line from the cumulative frequency value of 15 on the y-axis until it intersects the ogive curve.
Step 4: From the point of intersection, draw a vertical line down to the x-axis. This will give the approximate height corresponding to the cumulative frequency of 15.
Step 5: Read the value on the x-axis where the vertical line meets it. This is the approximate height for which the cumulative frequency is 15.

Ogive

An ogive is a graphical representation of cumulative frequency. It is constructed by plotting the cumulative frequency against the upper boundaries of the class intervals. The resulting curve helps visualize how many observations fall below a particular value, making it easier to determine percentiles and other statistical measures.

Cumulative Frequency

Cumulative frequency is the running total of frequencies up to a certain point in a dataset. It shows the number of observations that fall below or at a specific value. This concept is crucial for understanding distributions and is often used in conjunction with ogives to analyze data trends and percentiles.

Interpolation

Interpolation is a statistical method used to estimate unknown values that fall within the range of a discrete set of known data points. In the context of the ogive, interpolation allows us to approximate the height corresponding to a specific cumulative frequency, such as 15, by finding the point on the curve that aligns with that frequency.

Mean Absolute Deviation Another useful measure of variation for a data set is the mean absolute deviation (MAD). It is calculated by the formula

MAD = Σ |x − x̄| / n.

What Would You Do? You work at a bank and are asked to recommend the amount of cash to put in an ATM each day. You do not want to put in too much (which would cause security concerns) or too little (which may create customer irritation).
