Lesson Worksheet: Descending Cumulative Frequency Graphs Mathematics
In this worksheet, we will practice drawing a descending cumulative frequency diagram and using it to make estimations about the data.
Q1:
As a part of a childcare course, students recorded the age, in months, at which a group of babies and toddlers began to walk. The data is recorded in the grouped frequency table below.
| Age (Months) | 8– | 10– | 12– | 14– | 16– | 18– | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Frequency | 2 | 15 | 40 | 51 | 35 | 7 | 150 |
Complete the descending cumulative frequency table.
| Age (Months) | 8 or more | 10 or more | 12 or more | 14 or more | 16 or more | 18 or more | 20 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
