Secondary 4 Week 6 Worksheet 1

Histogram and Cumulative Frequency

Review questions carefully. Write your answers on the space provided.

Show your workings.
1. The heights of 25 plants were measured to the nearest centimetre. The results
are summarised in the table.

a. Draw a cumulative frequency table for this distribution.

[2]
b. In which interval does the median plant height lie?
21-25 cm
[2]
c. Draw the cumulative frequency curve and use it to estimate, to the
nearest centimetre, the median plant height.

Median plant height = 23 cm

[5]
2. Maria is a midwife who recorded the mass of the babies she delivered in one
month.
 a. What is the modal class?

[1]
b. How many babies have a mass of 2.5 kg or less?

12+1= 13 babies

[1]
c. Draw a histogram to show this distribution.

[2]

3. The table shows the distribution of the masses of the actors in a theatre group.
Draw a histogram to show the data.

4. Three mathematics classes take the same test in preparation for their final exam.
Their raw scores are shown in the table below:
 Class A 12, 21, 24, 30, 33, 36, 42, 45, 53, 53, 57, 59, 61, 62, 74, 88, 92, 93

Class B 48, 53, 54, 59, 61, 62, 67, 78, 85, 96, 98, 99

a. Using the class intervals 0 ≤ 𝑥 < 20, 20 ≤ 𝑥 < 40 etc., draw up a grouped
frequency and cumulative frequency table for each class.

[9]
b. Draw a cumulative frequency diagram for each class.
 [6]
c. Show how your graph could be used to find the median score for each class.
[3]
d. What does the median value tell us?
