Frequency Polygon

A frequency polygon is a line graph that represents a frequency distribution. It connects midpoints of class intervals with straight lines.

Key Features of a Frequency Polygon:

✔ It is created by plotting points at class midpoints and connecting them.
✔ The x-axis represents class midpoints, and the y-axis represents frequency.
✔ Can be used to compare multiple distributions on the same graph.

Example: Frequency Polygon for Student Test Scores

Class Interval (Marks) Midpoint Frequency (f)
0 – 10 5 5
10 – 20 15 8
20 – 30 25 12
30 – 40 35 10
40 – 50 45 15

🔹 Graph Interpretation:

  • The highest peak represents the most frequent category.

  • A smooth curve can be drawn for better visualization.

  • It helps in comparison between datasets.
