The heights of 100 senior-secondary students have been recorded and grouped as follows: Height (cm): 140–150, 150–160, 160–170, 170–180, 180–190 Number of students: 8, 18, 32, 28, 14 Using this information, complete the tasks below: a. (i) Draw the less–than cumulative frequency curve for the data on a suitable scale. b. (ii) From the curve, estimate the first quartile Q1Q_1 and the third quartile Q3Q_3 of the distribution. c. (iii) Hence calculate the inter-quartile range of the heights. d. (iv) Using the same curve, estimate the height below which 85 % of the students fall.
