Frequency Polygon

Frequency Polygon

A Frequency Polygon is an alternative to histograms, as it also used in representing the frequency of an event. It is a line graph, joining consecutive points.

Note: If drawn over a Histogram, each point on the frequency polygon is the mid-point of the top of each respective bar.
