Question

the ogive represents the heights of males in a particular country in the 20-29 age group. what height represents the 60th percentile? how should you interpret this? the 60th percentile represents about \\(\square\\) inches. (round to nearest whole number as needed.)

Explanation:

Step1: Locate the 60th percentile on the y - axis

The y - axis of the ogive graph represents the percentile. We find the value of 60 on the y - axis (the percentile axis).

Step2: Find the corresponding x - value (height)

From the point where the percentile is 60 on the y - axis, we draw a horizontal line until it intersects the ogive curve. Then we draw a vertical line down to the x - axis (which represents height in inches). By looking at the graph, when we do this, the corresponding height on the x - axis is approximately 69 inches.

Answer:

69
