5101520259141924293439Cumulative frequencyMarks
Worked solution (try it first)
  1. The curve ends at 25, so there are 25 students.
  2. Read the curve at 20 marks: the cumulative frequency is 18, so 18 students scored 20 or less.
  3. So 25−18=725 - 18 = 7 students scored more than 20.
  4. As a percentage: 725×100=28%\frac{7}{25} \times 100 = 28\%, option B.
