The graph of successive points of a distribution joined by straight lines in statistical terminology is known as _________.

  1. frequency polygon

  2. frequency curve

  3. trend

  4. cumulative distribution curve
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

A frequency polygon is constructed by plotting the midpoints of class intervals against their respective frequencies and connecting these points with straight line segments. This distinguishes it from a frequency curve, which is typically a smooth line.

How a frequency curve is sketched?

  1. Frequency curve is sketched with the help of histogram by joining the end points of rectangles.

  2. Frequency curve is sketched with the help of histogram by joining the mid point of rectangle.

  3. Frequency curve is sketched with the help of histogram by joining the starting points of rectangles.

  4. None of these

To show the trend for a variable, which one of the presentation method is used?

  1. Histogram

  2. Frequency polygon

  3. Line graph

  4. Scatter graph
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

A line graph is the standard method for displaying data points over time to show trends. Histograms and scatter plots serve different purposes, such as showing frequency distribution or correlation.

_______ is a graph of cumulative frequency distribution.

  1. Histogram

  2. Frequency Polygon

  3. Ogives

  4. Pie-diagram
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

An ogive, also known as a cumulative frequency polygon, is a graphical representation of the cumulative frequency distribution. It is plotted by using the upper boundaries of class intervals on the x-axis and cumulative frequencies on the y-axis.

  4. frequency polygon
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

A histogram consists of adjacent vertical rectangles where the area of each rectangle is proportional to the frequency of the class interval it represents.

A frequency polygon is a ________ curve.

  1. freehand

  2. joint

  3. straight line

  4. multi dimensional
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

By definition, a frequency polygon is constructed by connecting the midpoints of class intervals with straight line segments, forming a polygon shape.
