b) State the size of the class interval used in the above table. [1 mark]
c) Calculate the estimated mean of the duration of phone call made by a user. [3 marks]
d) For this part of question, use graph paper.
By using a scale of 2cm to 5 minutes on the horizontal axis and 2cm to 1 user on the vertical axis, draw a
histogram for the data. [4 marks]
e) State one information based on the histogram in (d). [1 mark]

OGIVE
Example 5
The data shows the volume, in ml, of water that is collected in a bottle by each of 50 participants in a telematch.
a) Construct a grouped frequency table for the data by using the class intervals, 130 134, 135 139
and so on.
b) For this part of the question, use graph paper.
Using a scale of 2 to 5 on the horizontal axis and 2 to 5 participants on the vertical axis,
draw an ogive for the data.
c) From the ogive, find
i) the median
ii) the interquartile range
