An ogive (oh-jive), sometimes called a cumulative frequency polygon, is a type of frequency polygon that shows cumulative frequencies. In other words, the cumulative percents are added on the graph from left to right. An ogive graph plots cumulative frequency on the y-axis and class boundaries along the x-axis.
How do you plot a cumulative frequency graph?
In the graph, put the upper limit on the x-axis. Mark the cumulative frequency on the y-axis. Plot the points (x,y) using upper limits (x) and their corresponding Cumulative frequency (y) Join the points by a smooth freehand curve.
How do we calculate cumulative frequency?
The cumulative frequency is calculated by adding each frequency from a frequency distribution table to the sum of its predecessors. The last value will always be equal to the total for all observations, since all frequencies will already have been added to the previous total.
