What is the Frequency Polygon<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A frequency polygon<\/a> is the polygon obtained by joining the mid-points of upper horizontal sides of all the rectangles in a histogram<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Construction of a frequency polygon with Histogram.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Obtain the frequency distribution and draw a histogram representing it.<\/li>\n
  2. Obtain the mid-points of the upper horizontal side of each rectangle.<\/li>\n
  3. Join these mid-points of the adjacent rectangles of the histogram by dotted line segments.<\/li>\n
  4. Obtain the mid-points of two class-intervals of zero frequency i.e. on X-axis, one adjacent to the first, on its left and one adjacent to the last, on its right.These class-intervals are known as imagined class intervals.<\/li>\n
  5. Complete the polygon by joining the mid-points of first and last class intervals to the mid-points of imagined class-intervals adjacent to them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
