- complete an ascending cumulative frequency table from a grouped frequency table,
- draw an ascending cumulative frequency graph given a grouped frequency table,
- make estimations about data using an ascending cumulative frequency graph.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with

Exclusions
Students will not cover
- estimating the median, quartiles, and interquartile range from an ascending cumulative frequency graph,
- descending cumulative frequency graphs.
