What is an ogive chart?

An ogive chart is a graphical representation of cumulative frequency, which displays the cumulative totals of data points over a given range. It is typically used in statistics to show the total number of observations that fall below a particular value, helping to visualize the distribution of data. The chart is created by plotting points representing cumulative frequencies and connecting them with a line, allowing for easy interpretation of percentiles and other statistical measures. Ogives are particularly useful for understanding data trends and distributions in a clear and concise manner.
