A cumulative frequency curve is a graph that shows the cumulative frequency of a data set. This type of graph can present data, such as medians and quartiles. Another name for this curve is an Ogive.

What is Frequency curve?

A frequency curve is a graph obtained by joining the points of a frequency polygon freehand smoothly.


How is a frequency curve in statistics different from a frequency polygon?

In order to plot the points on either the frequency polygon or curve, the mid values of the class intervals of the distribution are calculated. Then the frequencies with respect to the mid points are plotted. However in a frequency curve the points are joined by a smooth curve, where as in a frequency polygon the points are joined by straight lines. Apart from this major difference, a frequency polygon is a closed figure where as the frequency curve is not.


Usefulness of cumulative frequency curve?

It will show you whether it is a constant rate or if it speeds up or slows down.


What is the first thing you need to do to create a box and whisker plot of a data set?

You need to do a cumulative frequency curve


How do you calculate median using linear interpolation in an O-give curve?

To calculate the median using linear interpolation in an O-give curve, first identify the total number of observations (N) and find the median position, which is ( \frac{N + 1}{2} ). Locate this position on the cumulative frequency curve (O-give) and determine the corresponding cumulative frequency value. If the median position falls between two cumulative frequency points, use linear interpolation to estimate the median value by finding the x-values (data points) associated with these frequencies and applying the formula for interpolation.

How do you draw a cumulative frequency frequency polygon and a frequency curve?

To draw a cumulative frequency frequency polygon, plot cumulative frequency on the y-axis and the upper boundary of each class interval on the x-axis. Then connect the points with straight line segments, starting from the x-axis at 0 cumulative frequency. For a frequency curve, plot the midpoint of each class interval on the x-axis and the frequency on the y-axis. Then connect the points smoothly with a curve to show the distribution of data.

What is utility of cumulative frequency curve?

The main utility of a cumulative frequency curve is to show the distribution of the data points and its skew. It can be used to find the median, the upper and lower quartiles, and the range of the data.


What is the highest point of the frequency curve?

The "frequency curves" are called waves. The highest point of a wave is the crest.

What is the difference between a cummulative frequency graph and a cumulative frequency polygon?

A cumulative frequency polygon has straight lines connecting the points. A normal cumulative frequency diagram uses a smooth curve to join the points.
