What is Ogive?

An Ogive or Cumulative Frequency Curve is a curve of a data set obtained by an individual through the representation of cumulative frequency distribution on a graph. As there are two types of cumulative frequency distribution; i.e., Less than cumulative frequencies and More than cumulative frequencies, the ogives are also of two types: 

1. Less than Ogive 

2. More than Ogive

Ogive (Cumulative Frequency Curve) and its Types

A method of presenting data in the form of graphs that provides a quick and easier way to understand the trends of the given set of data is known as Graphic Presentation. The two types of graphs through which a given set of data can be presented are Frequency Distribution Graphs and Time Series Graphs. The four most common graphs under Frequency Distribution Graphs are Line Frequency Graph, Histogram, Frequency Polygon, Frequency Curve, and Ogive.

Both ‘Less Than’ and ‘More Than’ Ogives

Both the ‘less than’ and the ‘more than’ ogives can be plotted on the same graph, and the point at which these two curves intersect is the median of the given data set....
