21-30 10 36 20.5
11-20 11 26 10.5
1-10 15 15 0.5
Note: In finding the lower boundary, subtract 0.5 from the lower limit of the class interval.
Like for example: 91 – 100: LB = 91 – 0.5 = 90.5. For less than cumulative
frequency column, the frequency of the lowest class interval is also the value of less than cumulative
frequency, then add it to the frequency of the next class interval up to the highest interval. Like for
example: 15 + 11 = 26. The total frequencies will also be the less than cumulative frequency value
of the highest class interval.

CLASS INTERVAL FREQUENCY (f) LESS THAN CUMULATIVE LOWER BOUNDARY

FREQUENCY (<cf) (LB)
91-100 3 62 + 3 = 65 90.5
81-90 2 60 + 2 = 62 80.5
71-80 2 58 + 2 = 60 70.5
 61-70 3 55 + 3 = 58 60.5
51-60 8 47 + 8 = 55 50.5
41-50 5 42 + 5 = 47 40.5
31-40 6 36 + 6 = 42 30.5
21-30 10 26 + 10 = 36 20.5
