Study Notes
Cumulative Frequency
- Cumulative frequency is calculated by adding the frequency of a specific class to the frequencies of all previous classes.
- Two types of cumulative frequency series: Less than Series and More than Series.
Data Example
- Heights of 40 individuals range from 110 cm to 159 cm.
- Key heights: 110, 112, 125, 135, 150, and others.
Cumulative Frequency Table
- Constructed with a class interval of 10.
- Important for visualizing data distribution through frequency representation.
Histogram
- A histogram displays class intervals on the horizontal axis and their corresponding frequencies on the vertical axis.
- Each class is represented by a vertical bar, whose height indicates the frequency.
- Bars in a histogram must touch each other to show continuity.
- Distinct values in single-value grouping label bars, while limit grouping uses lower-class limits.
Steps to Draw a Histogram
- Mark class intervals on the horizontal axis.
- For example, for classes like 160-under 180, identify the lower and upper class cutpoints and calculate class width/interval/magnitude.
Frequency Distribution Table Construction
- Determine the maximum and minimum values of the dataset.
- Decide on the number of classes (ideally between 5 and 15).
- Calculate the range by subtracting the minimum from the maximum.
- Determine class intervals and count data points for each interval.
Inclusive vs. Exclusive Series
- Inclusive Series: Upper limit of a class is included within that class.
- Exclusive Series: Upper limit of one class serves as the lower limit of the next class.
Additional Exercise Example
- Water bills for 30 households provided.
- Values: 1140, 1300, 1440, etc., given in rupees.
- Construct an exclusive frequency table with a class interval of size 100.
- Cumulative frequency sums up all frequencies up to and including a specific class, providing an overall count.

Description
This quiz covers topics related to creating a cumulative frequency table and histogram from a given set of height data. Students will practice organizing the data into class intervals, calculating cumulative frequencies, and constructing a histogram based on the frequency distribution.
