Question

Draw a frequency polygon for the following data:

Answer 1

Answer:

See attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{Marks} & {0-10} & {10-20} & {20-30} & {30-40} & {40-50} & {50-60}\ \\ {Students} & {7} & {15} & {22} & {30} & {16} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Required

The frequency polygon

We have:

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{Marks} & {0-10} & {10-20} & {20-30} & {30-40} & {40-50} & {50-60}\ \\ {Students} & {7} & {15} & {22} & {30} & {16} & {10} \ \end{array}$

First, we calculate the midpoint of each class

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{Midpoint} & {(0+10)/2} & {(10+20)/2} & {(20+30)/2} & {(30+40)/2} & {(40+50)/2} & {(50+60)/2}\ \\ {Students} & {7} & {15} & {22} & {30} & {16} & {10} \ \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{ccccccc}{Midpoint} & {5} & {15} & {25} & {35} & {45} & {55}\ \\ {Students} & {7} & {15} & {22} & {30} & {16} & {10} \ \end{array}$

Lastly, we plot the midpoint against the frequency of students (see attachment)
