The data were compiled as a cumulative frequency distribution, shown below: Pocket money (rupees) Less than 10 Less than 20 Less than 30 Less than 40 Less than 50 Cumulative frequency 8 19 32 45 50 Use this information to answer the following. (i) Convert the cumulative frequencies into a regular frequency distribution table with class intervals 0–10, 10–20, 20–30, 30–40 and 40–50.
