A frequency polygon is a graphical display of a frequency distribution that is constructed by connecting the midpoints of the tops of the bars of a histogram with line segments. This visual representation helps to illustrate the shape of the distribution.
1. A frequency polygon is formed by connecting the of the tops of the bars of a histogram.
2. To construct a frequency polygon, we first need to determine the for each class interval.
3. The vertical axis of a frequency polygon represents the .
4. Explain one advantage of using a frequency polygon over a histogram to represent data.
5. Which of the following is NOT required to construct a frequency polygon?
Class intervals
Frequencies
Class boundaries
Individual data points
6. The following table shows the scores of 30 students in a math test:
| Scores | Frequency | Midpoint |
|---|---|---|
| 40-49 | 3 | 44.5 |
| 50-59 | 7 | 54.5 |
| 60-69 | 10 | 64.5 |
| 70-79 | 6 | 74.5 |
| 80-89 | 4 | 84.5 |
