What is a frequency polygon graph?

In a Frequency Polygon, a line graph is drawn by joining all the midpoints of the top of the bars of a histogram. A frequency polygon gives the idea about the shape of the data distribution. The two end points of a frequency polygon always lie on the x-axis.


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.


What are advantages and disadvantages of frequency polygon?

What is a cumulative frequency polygon?

By its very nature, measuring cumulative frequency on either axis of a graph will produce a continuing line on the opposite axis. Therefore, it is impossible to construct a closed frequency polygon when dealing with cumulative frequency.


What is Frequency curve?

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


How do you form a frequency polygon from a frequency diagram?

Identify the midpoint of the top of each bar of the frequency diagram. Join these together and they will form a frequency polygon. Sometimes the polygon is extended down to the horizontal axis to where the midpoints of the bar before the first bar would have been and where the bar after the last bar would have been.
