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.
