FREQUENCY POLYGONS

EXAMPLE 1

January 2014 Paper 2 #7

The heights of a sample of seedlings were measured to the nearest centimetre and then arranged in class
intervals as shown in the table below.

Height in cm Class Boundaries Class Class Frequency Points to Plot


Midpoint Width
3–7 5 0
8 – 12 10 3
13 – 17 15 12
18 – 22 16
23 – 27 22
28 – 32 18
33 – 37 14

(a) How many seedlings were in the sample?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(1 mark)

(b) For the class interval written “8 – 12” in the table above, write down

(i) the lower class limit

………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(1 mark)

(ii) the upper class boundary

………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(1 mark)

(iii) the class width.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………
(1 mark)

(c) Complete the table by inserting

(i) the midpoints of EACH class interval


(2 marks)
(ii) the missing values for the class interval after the interval “33 – 37”.
(1 mark)

(d) Using a scale of 2 cm to represent 5 cm on the horizontal axis and 2 cm to represent 5 seedlings on
the vertical axis, draw a frequency polygon to represent the data as shown in your table above.
(5 marks)
