Q

If you have a cumulative frequency graph and need to find the number of things above or below a certain thing on the X axis, what do you do?

A

Draw a line from the point you want on the X axis up to the cumulative frequency line. Then from this point, draw a horizontal line to the Y axis.
If you need to find the number of things below a value, this is your answer.
If you want to find the number of vales above, remove the answer you got from the total.
