6 The weights, \(x\) kilograms, of 144 people were recorded. The results are summarised in the cumulative frequency table below.
Weight \(( x\) kilograms \()\)\(x < 40\)\(x < 50\)\(x < 60\)\(x < 65\)\(x < 70\)\(x < 90\)

  1. On graph paper, draw a cumulative frequency graph to represent these results.
  2. 64 people weigh more than \(c \mathrm {~kg}\). Use your graph to find the value of \(c\).
  3. Calculate estimates of the mean and standard deviation of the weights.
