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

Explanation:

Curve formed by joining the midpoint of rectangular of histogram is called as frequency curve.

  2. Suitable scale

  3. Suitable title

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D

Graph is a useful tool as _______________.

  1. only limited information can be achieved

  2. information provided is not useful for an expert

  3. not precisely correct

  4. it does not require that the person who is using graph should know mathematics


Correct Option: D

For drawing a frequency polygon of a continous frequency distribution, we plot the points whose ordinates are the frequencies of the respective classes and abcissae are respectively :

  1. upper limits of the classes

  2. lower limits of the classes

  3. class marks of the classes

  4. upper limits of perceeding classes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

We draw the class marks on the abscissae, class marks are the mean of lower and upper limit of the class intervals.
