Ogive Statistics Form 4

Ogive is a cumulative frequency graph obtained by plotting the cumulative frequency against the upper boundaries of each class interval. Cumulative frequency is determined by summing the frequency of a class with the total frequencies of all previous classes. An ogive can be used to determine the median, quartiles, and interquartile range of a data set. The median is the middle value, the first quartile (Q1) splits the lowest 25% of data, the third quartile (Q3) splits the highest 25% of data, and the interquartile range is calculated as Q3 - Q1.

OGIVE

Ogive is a cumulative frequency


graph which is obtained by plotting
the cumulative frequency against
the upper boundaries of each
class.
CUMULATIVE FREQUENCY

Cumulative Frequency of a data or a class


interval in a frequency table is obtained by
determining the sum of its frequency with
the total frequencies of all its previous
data or class interval.
Add a class with frequency 0 before the first class.
Find the upper boundary of each class interval.

Medians and Quartiles

The first quartile (Q1) is a number such that of the total number

of data that has a value less than the number.
The median is the second quartile which is the value that lies at

the centre of the data. ( )


The third quartile (Q3) is a number such that of the total number

of data that has a value less than the number.
The interquartile range is the difference between the third
quartile and the first quartile.

Interquartile range = third quartile first quartile


Example
The ogive in the diagram shows the distribution of time (to
the nearest second) taken by 100 students in a swimming
competition. From the ogive, determine
(a) the median,
(b) the first quartile,
(c) the third quartile
(d) the interquartile range
of the time taken.
(a) MEDIAN

of 100 students = 100=50

From the ogive, median, M=50.5 second

(b) First Quartile



of 100 students = 100=25

From the ogive, first quartile, Q1= 44.5 second

(c ) Third Quartile

of 100 students = 100=75

From the ogive, third quartile, Q3= 54.5 second

(d) Interquartile range


Q3- Q1 = 54.5 44.5 = 10
