Que-1: Find out the median by plotting the following in the form of an ogive, where ‘m’ denotes the mid-mark of a class :

Sol: 12.5, 17.5, etc. are class marks
∴ The corresponding classes will be 10-15, 15-20, etc.
Plot the points (15, 2), (20, 24), (25, 43), (30, 57), (35, 60), (40, 64), (45, 70), (50, 71), (55, 72) on the graph and join them with free hand to get on ogive as shown.
Here n = 72 which is even
∴ Median = n/2
= 72/2 = 36
From 36 on 7-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis which meets the curve at P. From P, draw a perpendicular, to x-axis which meet it at M which is median.
∴ Median = 23.5 (approx)
Que-2: From the data given below draw an ogive and find the values of median and quartiles from the graph.

Sol: Now plot the points (10, 12), (20, 31), (30, 44), (40, 55), (50, 65) and (60, 70) on the graph and join them with free hand to get an ogive as shown.
(i) Here in = 70
∴ Median = n/2 = 70/2 th = 35th term.
From 35 (A) on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P and from P, draw PL ⊥ x-axis
∴ L is the median which is = 23 years
∴Meadian = 23 years
(ii) First Quartile (Q1) = n/4 = 70/4 = 17.5
From 17.5 (B) on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at Q and from Q, draw QM ⊥ x-axis
∴ M is the Q1 which is 13 years
(iii) Similarly for Q3 = 3n/4 = (3×40)/4 = 210/4 = 52.5
From 52.5 (C) on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at R and from R, RN ⊥ x-axis
Then N is the Q3 which is = 37 years
Que-3: From the following find out the median with the help of ogive curve :

Sol: Plot the points (10, 12), (20, 30), (30, 57), (40, 77), (50, 94) and (60, 100) on the graph and join them to get an ogive.
Here n = 100
∴ Median = n/2 =100/2 th = 50
From 50 (A) on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis which meet the curve at P From P, draw PL ⊥ x-axis which meet it at L
L is the median which is 27.8 (approx)
∴ Median 27.8 or = 28 (approx)

∴ Median = n/2 th = 800/2 th = 400th term
From 400 on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis which meets the curve at P. From P, draw PL ⊥ x-axis
∴ L is the median which is 35
Hence median = Rs. 35
(i) Q1 = n/4 = 800/4 = 200
From 200 on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis which meets the curve at Q.
From Q draw QM ⊥ x-axis
∴ M is the Q1 which is 23

Plot the points (15, 6), (25, 16), (35, 31), (45, 44), (55, 68), (65, 76) and (75, 83) on the graph and join them with free hand to form an ogive (less than)
(i) Median, Here n = 83
∴ n/2 = 83/2 = 41.5
From 41.5 on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at P.
From P draw a perpendicular PM on x-axis
M is the median which is 43 years.
(ii) Upper quartile (Q3) = (3/4) × n = (3/4) × 83

From 62.25 on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at Q. From Q, draw a perpendicular on x-axis meeting it at N.
N is the upper quadrant which is 52 years
∴ Q3 = 52 years
Que-10: Marks scored by 400 students in an examination are as follows :

Draw an ogive and from it determine:
(i) the median mark,
(ii) pass marks if 80% of the students pass examination.
Sol:
Plot the points (10, 10), (20, 30), (30, 52), (40, 92), (50,. 147), (60, 222), (70, 302), (80, 360), (90, 388), (100,400) on the graph and join them with free hand to form an ogive as shown below:
Here n = 400
(i) Median = n/2 = 400/2 = 200
From 200 (A) on y-axis draw a line parallel to x-axis is meeting the curve at P. From P, draw a perpendicular on x-axis meeting it at M.
M is median which is 57.5
∴ Median = 257.5
∵ 80% students passed
(ii) No. of students passed = 80% of 400 = (80/100) × 400 = 320
∴ No. of students who did not pass = 400 – 320 = 80
From a point 80 on y-axis, draw a line parallel to x-axis meeting the curve at Q.
From Q1 draw a line perpendicular to x-axis meeting at N. Then N is the required pass marks.
Which is 36
∴ Pass marks = 36%
