Cumulative Frequency Graphs – Part 2

1. Eighty guests at a wedding’s ages are listed in the table below:

Age ( x years) Frequency Cumulative Frequency
0 ≤ x<10 2

10 ≤ x <20 8

20 ≤ x <30 14

30 ≤ x < 40 19

40 ≤ x <50 22

50 ≤ x <60 9

60 ≤ x<70 4

70 ≤ x <80 2

Plot a cumulative frequency for this data on the grid below:

Use you graph to estimate the median age of guests at the wedding.

Estimate the number of people who were younger than 25 at the wedding.
2. The speed of 100 cars are in the table below:
Speed ( x km/h) Frequency Cumulative Frequency
0 ≤ x<20 5

20 ≤ x < 40 25

40 ≤ x <60 35

60 ≤ x<80 25

80 ≤ x<100 10

Draw a cumulative frequency graph of the data:

Estimate the median speed of the cars.

The speed limit on the road is 70 km/h; estimate how many cars broke the speed limit?
3. The cumulative frequency graph below shows the runs scored by 40 players at a cricket
club on one Saturday:

Estimate the median score for the players in the cricket club.

Estimate the lower quartile.

Estimate the upper quartile.

Find the inter-quartile range of the scores.

4. The cumulative frequency graph below shows how much money 60 people spent on two
separate nights out in pounds:

Estimate the median amount spent on each night.

Estimate the inter-quartile range of the amount spent on each night.

Estimate how many people spent over £ 50 on each night.

Compare the two nights and the amount spent.
