Answer:

Ogive is the right answer.

Explanation:

By definition, an ogive , also called a cumulative frequency polygon, is a type of frequency polygon that shows cumulative frequencies. .

An ogive graph plots cumulative frequencies on the y axis.

For seeing a cumulative pattern in the data, we find that ogive is the best one since it gives a ready to view without any calculations.

Histograms show only frequencies and not cumulative. Stem and leaf just represent a data in a consolidated manner while scatter plot is for two variables.

So right answer is ogive
