Cumulative Frequency Polygon Concepts

The video tutorial covers cumulative frequency polygons, also known as OGs. It explains how to construct these graphs, focusing on calculating cumulative frequencies and setting up axes. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the interpretation of these graphs, which is often overlooked in textbooks. The video provides a step-by-step guide to constructing the graphs, including calculating cumulative frequencies, setting up axes, and finalizing the graph with proper labeling.

What is another name for cumulative frequency polygons?

• Bar Graph

• Histogram

• Ogive

• Pie Chart

What is the first step in constructing a cumulative frequency polygon?

• Drawing the axes

• Choosing a title

• Calculating cumulative frequencies

• Labeling the graph

How do you calculate cumulative frequency from frequency?

• Dividing each frequency

• Adding up the frequencies

• Multiplying each frequency

• Subtracting each frequency

What should you consider when labeling the horizontal axis?

• Using only the highest value

• Using random numbers

• Using alphabetical labels

• Using the tops and bottoms of groups

What is the purpose of the vertical axis in a cumulative frequency polygon?

• To display the frequency of each group

• To show the cumulative frequency

• To represent the data categories

• To indicate the time intervals

What is the maximum value on the vertical axis based on the example given?

• 100

• 120

• 150

• 200

Why is it important to divide the vertical axis into increments?

• To ensure accurate data representation

• To make the graph taller

• To confuse the viewer

• To make the graph look more colorful

What should you do if you run out of space on the graph?

• Start over with a new graph

• Add more paper to the graph

• Ignore the extra data

• Adjust the scale of the axes

What is the benefit of using the center of each class for labeling?

• It makes the graph more colorful

• It reduces the number of labels needed

• It provides a more accurate representation

• It simplifies the graph

What is the final step in constructing a cumulative frequency polygon?

• Adding a title

• Drawing the cumulative frequency line

• Coloring the graph

• Erasing the guidelines
