Use the ogive to approximate
the height for which the cumulative frequency is 15.

What is the difference between a frequency polygon and an ogive?

use the given information about the data set and the number of classes to find the class width, the lower class limits, and the upper class limits.

min=17, range=118, 8 classes

use the frequency distribution to find the (a) class width, (b) class midpoints, and (c) class boundaries.
