6.
Construct a histogram based on the following cumulative frequency data: | Class Interval | Cumulative Frequency | |------------------|------------------------| | 0 - 10 | 12 | | 10 - 20 | 27 | | 20 - 30 | 45 | | 30 - 40 | 50 |
[3 marks]
7.
A class interval of 0-20 has a frequency of 10, and the next class is 21-40 with a frequency of 15. What is the cumulative frequency at 40?
[2 marks]
8.
In a frequency table, the cumulative frequency for class 0-25 is 35, and for 0-50 is 60. Find the frequency for the class 26-50.

9.
Explain why it is important to correctly calculate cumulative frequencies when analyzing data distributions.
[3 marks]
10.
A student miscalculates the cumulative frequency for a class interval. Identify the error and correct it: | Class | Frequency | Cumulative Frequency | |--------|------------|------------------------| | 0-10 | 10 | 10 | | 11-20 | 12 | 22 | | 21-30 | 15 | 37 |
