The following distribution represents the height of 160 students of school.
Height (in cm) No. of Students
140 – 145 12
145 – 150 20
150 – 155 30
155 – 160 38
160 – 165 24
165 – 170 16
170 – 175 12
175 – 180 8

Draw an ogive for the given distribution taking 2 cm = 5 cm of height on one axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the other axis. Using the graph, determine:

(i) The median height.

(ii) The interquartile range.

(iii) The number of students whose height is above 172 cm.


Given,
Height (in cm) No. of Students Cumulative frequency(c.f.)
140 – 145 12 12
145 – 150 20 32
150 – 155 30 62
155 – 160 38 100
160 – 165 24 124
165 – 170 16 140
170 – 175 12 152
175 – 180 8 160
  N = 160  

Taking scale as 2 cm=5 cm on x-axis and 2 cm = 20 students on the y- axis, the Ogive is drawn as below:

(i) Median Height = (N2)th  value = (1602)th value = 80th value = 157 cm

(ii) Lower quartile, Q(N4)th value = (1604)th value = 40th value = 152 cm.

Upper quartile, Q3(3N4)th value = (3 × 1604)th value = 120th value = 164 cm

Thus, Inter Quartile range = 164 - 152 = 12 cm

(iii) The number of students whose height is more than 172 cm = 160 - 142 = 18 students.
