a cumulative frequency polygon, often presented in terms of percentage form
a curve drawn for the cumulative frequency distribution by joining with as smooth a curve as possible the dots marked above the upper boundaries of classes at height equal to the cumulative frequencies of respective classes
A Gothic pointed arch or diagonal rib across a vault.
A body of revolution formed by rotating a circular arc about an axis that intersects the arc; the shape of this body; also, a nose of a projectile or the like so shaped.

1 The curved pointed head of a cylindrical projectile used in rifled firearms. Designed to keep the projectile from tumbling in flight, to reduce air resistance and to increase penetration. 2 Ballistic measurement of the radius of the curve of a bullets nose.
