  1. Less than ogive curves: In this method, frequencies are cumulated and presented in a graph corresponding to upper limits of the classes in a frequency distribution. Firstly, all the data are converted into less than cumulative frequency distribution as follows-

 

Marks

Cumulative Frequency

Less than 10

3

Less than 20

3 + 4 = 7

Less than 30

7 + 8 = 15

Less than 40

15 + 10 = 25

Less than 50

25 + 3 = 28

Less than 60

28 + 2 = 30

 

This curve is drawn by plotting cumulative frequencies against the upper limit of the class intervals. And these points are joined to obtain the less than ogive curve.

ii. More than ogive curves: In this method, frequencies are cumulated and presented in a graph corresponding to lower limits of the classes in a frequency distribution. Firstly, all the data are converted into more than cumulative frequency distribution as follows-

 

Marks

Cumulative Frequency

More than 0

30

More than 10

30 - 3 = 27

More than 20

27 - 4= 23

More than 30

23 - 8 = 15

More than 40

15 - 10 = 5

More than 50

5- 3 = 2

More than 60

2-2= 0

 This curve is drawn by plotting cumulative frequencies against the lower limit of the class intervals. And these points are joined to obtain more than ogive curve.
