Class boundariesFrequency
170–1802
180–1906
190–2009
200–21012
210–2208
220–2303

Step-by-step solution

  1. Cumulative frequency means a running total. Begin with zero at the first lower boundary.

  2. Class 170–180: add frequency 2 to the preceding total.

    0+2=2
  3. Class 180–190: add frequency 6 to the preceding total.

    2+6=8
  4. Class 190–200: add frequency 9 to the preceding total.

    8+9=17
  5. Class 200–210: add frequency 12 to the preceding total.

    17+12=29
  6. Class 210–220: add frequency 8 to the preceding total.

    29+8=37
  7. Class 220–230: add frequency 3 to the preceding total.

    37+3=40
