If the intervals are of different width, then it is a histogram.
Frequency Distribution Table
hi my name is Emma
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.
The intervals must be of EQUAL SIZE.That is, if I have a data set of numbers ranging from 1 to 20, I might create 4 intervals of 5 each, because 20 divides by 5 evenly. So I would get a table:---------------------------------------------| Interval | Tally | Frequency |---------------------------------------------| 1-5 | | || | | || 6-10 | | || | | || 10-15 | | || | | || 15-20 | | |---------------------------------------------
Usually the intervals in a frequency chart should be equal.
No.
If the intervals are of different width, then it is a histogram.
The most important thing in creating intervals for a frequency distribution is that the intervals used must be non-overlapping and contain all of the possible observations. They are often equal intervals, but sometimes unequal ones are used. It all depends on the data.
Yes, you can.

a histogram
Something is considered periodic if it occurs at regular intervals with a consistent pattern. The frequency and intervals of occurrence may vary, but there should be a clear, predictable repetition of the event for it to be considered periodic.
The categories, variable values or midpoints of class-intervals.
to avoid a large number of empty classes?

True.
