Measurements of the distances, x mm, between two moving parts inside car engines were recorded and are summarised in the following table. There were 156 engines of type A and 156 engines of type B.

Distance (xmm) x<0.10 x<0.35 x<0.60 x<0.85 x<1.20
Engine A(cf) 0 16 84 144 156
Engine B(cf) 0 8 62 120 156

 

Draw and label two cumulative frequency curves on the same axes.

Both types of engine must be repaired if the distance between these moving parts is more than a certain fixed amount. Given that 16 type A engines need repairing, estimate the number of type B engines that need repairing.
