Use graph paper for this question.
A survey regarding height (in cm) of 60 boys belonging to class 10 of a school was conducted. The following data was recorded :
| Height (in cm) | No. of boys |
|---|---|
| 135 - 140 | 4 |
| 140 - 145 | 8 |
| 145 - 150 | 20 |
| 150 - 155 | 14 |
| 155 - 160 | 7 |
| 160 - 165 | 6 |
| 165 - 170 | 1 |
Taking 2 cm = height of 10 cm on one axis and 2 cm = 10 boys along the other axis, draw an ogive of the above distribution. Use the graph to estimate the following :
(i) median
(ii) lower quartile
(iii) if above 158 is considered as the tall boy of the class, find the number of boys in the class who are tall.
