a. What is the modal class?

6.4 Frequency polygons
 A frequency polygon is a graph formed
by joining the midpoints at the top of
successive bars of 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.
 Two type of frequency polygons:
a) Based on histogram

b) Based on frequency table

1. Add a class with 0 frequency before
the first class and after the last class.
2. Mark the midpoints on top of each bar.
3. Join the midpoints with straight lines.
 Height (cm) Frequency
30-39 0
40-49 2
50-59 8
60-69 20
70-79 5
80-89 0
1. Based on the table above, find the lower boundary
and upper boundary of each class.

2. Draw out the histogram.

3. Then, based on the histogram, draw the frequency

polygons.
