TypeDraw cumulative frequency graph from cumulative frequency table

6 The times, \(t\) minutes, taken by 150 students to complete a particular challenge are summarised in the following cumulative frequency table.
Time taken \(( t\) minutes \()\)\(t \leqslant 20\)\(t \leqslant 30\)\(t \leqslant 40\)\(t \leqslant 60\)\(t \leqslant 100\)

  1. Draw a cumulative frequency graph to illustrate the data.

  2. \(24 \%\) of the students take \(k\) minutes or longer to complete the challenge. Use your graph to estimate the value of \(k\).
  3. Calculate estimates of the mean and the standard deviation of the time taken to complete the challenge.
