Frequency Polygons
Frequency polygons use class midpoints
and frequencies of the classes.
A frequency polygon
is anchored on the
x-axis before the first
class and after the
last class.

Procedure Table
Constructing Statistical Graphs
1: Draw and label the x and y axes.
2: Choose a suitable scale for the frequencies or
cumulative frequencies, and label it on the y axis.
3: Represent the class boundaries for the histogram
or ogive, or the midpoint for the frequency
polygon, on the x axis.
4: Plot the points and then draw the bars or lines.
