Answer to Question 1

It depends on the type of data, and what would be an appropriate measure of central tendency.

Answer to Question 2

The horizontal scale identifies the upper class boundaries. Until the upper boundary of a class has been reached, you cannot be sure you have accumulated all the data in that class. Therefore, the horizontal scale for an ogive is always based on the upper class boundaries.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
