Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image contains a question asking for the construction of a frequency polygon based on the given ACFP (Accumulated Cumulative Frequency Polygon). Let me extract and solve it for you.
Steps to Solve:
-
Interpret the ACFP (Cumulative Frequency Graph):
- Identify cumulative frequencies from the graph at each class boundary.
- Calculate the class frequencies by subtracting successive cumulative frequencies.
-
Prepare Frequency Data:
- Use the class boundaries and the calculated frequencies to create the frequency table.
-
Draw the Frequency Polygon:
- Use the midpoints of the class intervals on the x-axis.
- Plot the frequencies against the midpoints and connect the points.
Let me extract the data and provide the solution. matplotlib.pyplot as plt
Class boundaries from the graph
class_boundaries = [-5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20]
Cumulative frequencies from the graph (manually extracted)
cumulative_frequencies = [0, 5, 15, 30, 40, 50]
Calculate frequencies from cumulative frequencies
frequencies = [cumulative_frequencies[i] - cumulative_frequencies[i - 1] for i in range(1, len(cumulative_frequencies))]
Midpoints of class intervals
midpoints = [(class_boundaries[i] + class_boundaries[i + 1]) / 2 for i in range(len(class_boundaries) - 1)]
Plotting the frequency polygon
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6)) plt.plot(midpoints, frequencies, marker='o', linestyle='-', color='b', label='Frequency Polygon') plt.title('Frequency Polygon') plt.xlabel('Class Midpoints') plt.ylabel('Frequency') plt.grid(True) plt.legend() plt.show()
Display the extracted data as a table
class_boundaries, cumulative_frequencies, frequencies### Results:
- Class Boundaries:
[-5, 0, 5, 10, 15, 20]
- Cumulative Frequencies:
[0, 5, 15, 30, 40, 50]
- Frequencies (calculated):
[5, 10, 15, 10, 10]
The frequency polygon has been plotted using the midpoints of the class intervals and the corresponding frequencies.
Explanation:
-
Frequency Calculation: This gives the individual frequencies for each class interval.
-
Midpoints: These are calculated as the average of the two boundaries for each class, e.g., .
-
Polygon Construction: Frequencies are plotted against midpoints, and the points are connected with lines.
