The following table shows a frequency distribution for the speed of cars passing through at a particular spot on a highway:
Class interval (km/h) | Frequency |
30-40 | 3 |
40-50 | 6 |
50-60 | 25 |
60-70 | 65 |
70-80 | 50 |
80-90 | 28 |
90-100 | 14 |
Draw a histogram and frequency polygon representing the data above.
To draw the histogram, we have to plot the frequency on the y-axis and the class interval on the x-axis. We can construct the histogram as follows:
A frequency polygon is a graph constructed by using lines to join the midpoints of each interval.
Accordingly, the curve ABCDEFGHI is the frequency polygon.
