TypeDraw cumulative frequency graph from cumulative frequency table

4 The weights, \(x \mathrm {~kg}\), of 120 students in a sports college are recorded. The results are summarised in the following table.
Weight \(( x \mathrm {~kg} )\)\(x \leqslant 40\)\(x \leqslant 60\)\(x \leqslant 65\)\(x \leqslant 70\)\(x \leqslant 85\)\(x \leqslant 100\)

  1. Draw a cumulative frequency graph to represent this information.

  2. It is found that \(35 \%\) of the students weigh more than \(W \mathrm {~kg}\). Use your graph to estimate the value of \(W\).
  3. Calculate estimates for the mean and standard deviation of the weights of the 120 students. [6]
