What is ogive? I don't know what is ogive.in my book of mathematics it came but there is no explanation abiut it.

If you have a sufficiently large random sample from a (continuous) population, it is often useful to try to estimate the PDF (density) function or its CDF. Before the computer age PDFs were often approximated by histograms and CDFs by ogives.

Typically, both kinds
of plots are based on grouped or binned data: frequency counts of individual intervals (or bins) for histograms and cumulative frequency counts for ogives.

Nowadays even for very large datasets, computers make it possible to make plots that more carefully take into account the individual observations. So kernel density estimators (KDEs) sometimes replace histograms and empirical cumulative distribution functions
(ECDFs) usually replace ogives.

[An ECDF is a step function that uses sorted data, jumping by $1/n$ at each value; and by $k/n$ at a particular value if data are rounded so that $k$
observations are tied at that value. In some fields of application, the term 'ogive' is still used--instead of 'ECDF' -- even when data are not sorted into intervals.
A KDE splices curves together to make a 'spline' that approximates the density function.)

Below are the KDE and ECDF of a random sample of size $n = 5000$ from the distribution
$mathsf{Norm}(mu = 100,, sigma=15).$ For reference, the exact density function
and CDF are plotted (dotted red). An ogive using the same bins as the histogram would be a broken line very closely approximating
the ECDF. In an actual application, the exact PDF and CDF would not be known.

Note: The figure was make using R statistical software. The code is provided below.

set.seed(1218);  n = 5000;  mu = 100;  sg = 15

x = rnorm(n, mu, sg)

par(mfrow=c(1,2))  # enables 2 panels per figure

  HDRH = "Histogram, KDE, and Density of Sample from NORM(100,15)"

   hist(x, prob=T, col="skyblue2", ylim=c(0,.03), main = HDRH)

    lines(density(x), lwd=2, col="blue")

    curve(dnorm(x, mu, sg), add=T, lwd=2, col="red", lty="dotted")

 HDRC = "ECDF and CDF of sample from NORM(100,15)"

   plot(ecdf(x), col="blue", main = HDRC)

    curve(pnorm(x, mu, sg), add=T, lwd=2, col="red", lty="dotted")

par(mfrow=c(1,1))

In order to show more detail, at the loss of some precision of estimation, we
show the corresponding figure for the first 1000 of the 5000 normal values
sampled above. Some information is lost in binning, so histograms do not have the
same accuracy as ECDFs.

Finally, we show the relatively poor estimates from only the first $50$ observations. Here 'rugs' of tick marks below the horizontal axes of the histogram and the ECDF show
exact values of the $50$ observations. Also, the the ogive (9-segment broken cyan line), based on
the histogram bins, is superimposed on the ECDF plot.

Coordinates for the ogive are shown in the table below:

Endpt    x     y

    0   50  0.00

    1   60  0.02

    2   70  0.04

In statistics, an ogive is a free-hand graph showing the curve of a cumulative distribution function.[1] The points plotted are the upper class limit and the corresponding cumulative frequency.[2] (which, for the normal distribution, resembles one side of an Arabesque or ogival arch). The term can also be used to refer to the empirical cumulative distribution function.
