We will prepare more than type cumulative frequency distribution table.

First column will be continuous classes in this sum it is production yield(in Kg/Ha)

Second column will be frequency. In this sum it is number of farms

Third column will be more than type cumulative frequency. In this we add the frequency from Down to Up

Fourth column will be points to be plotted lower limit,cumulative frequency

Leaving 2 cm from bottom we draw horizontal X-axis and leaving 2cm from left we draw vertical Y-axis

On X-axis if classes are not starting from ‘0’ leaving 2cm from X-axis we start putting limits .

Looking at the biggest Y-co ordinate we select the scale on Y - axis

We plot the points one after the other and write the co-ordinate

Join all points with smooth curve

The difference between origin and lower limit of first class is not same as the width of classes hence we put a Krink mark
