2. The frequency polygon is another means of graphically displaying data. It is similar to a histogram but the bars are replaced by a line joined together. It is constructed in the following manner:
- Absolute frequency for each interval is plotted on the vertical (y) axis.
- The midpoint of each class (interval) is shown on the horizontal (x) axis.
- Neighboring points are connected with a straight line.
Unlike a histogram, a frequency polygon adds a degree of
continuity to the presentation of the distribution.
It is helpful, when drawing a frequency polygon, first to draw a histogram in pencil, then to plot the points and join the lines, and finally to rub out the histogram. In this way, the histogram can be used as an initial guide to drawing the polygon.

Subject 3. Frequency Distributionn the bars.
From a histogram, we can see quickly where most of the observations lie. The shapes of histograms will vary, depending on the choice of the size of the intervals.

The relative frequency for a class is calculated by dividing the number of observations in a class by the total number of observations and converting this figure to a percentage (multipl Summary
