Frequency Polygon Concepts and Applications

This video tutorial explains how to create a frequency polygon using income distribution data. It begins with setting up a frequency distribution table, calculating midpoints for income ranges, and then plotting these points on a graph to form a frequency polygon. The tutorial also discusses the importance of adding extra points for a complete polygon and concludes with additional resources for further learning in statistics and other subjects.

What is the starting point for the income range in the frequency polygon example?

• 10k

• 40k

• 30k

• 20k

What is the midpoint for the income range 60k to 80k?

• 80

• 70

• 60

• 90

Why do we need to add a midpoint value below the lowest and above the highest in a frequency polygon?

• To make calculations easier

• To start and end the polygon at the x-axis

• To balance the graph

• To ensure all data points are included

What is the frequency value at the midpoint of 90k?

• 2

• 3

• 4

• 5

What is the purpose of connecting the dots in a frequency polygon?

• To create a histogram

• To highlight the highest frequency

• To separate data points

• To form a continuous line

What should be the frequency value for the additional points introduced in the frequency polygon?

• 2

• 0

• 1

• 3

What is the highest frequency value in the given frequency polygon example?

• 5

• 3

• 2

• 4
