Math Problem Statement

Consider the data given by the following ACFP (Accumulated Cumulative Frequency Polygon) and draw the frequency polygon for the given data.

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:

  1. 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.
  2. Prepare Frequency Data:

    • Use the class boundaries and the calculated frequencies to create the frequency table.
  3. 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:

  1. Frequency Calculation: fi=CFiCFi1f_i = CF_i - CF_{i-1} This gives the individual frequencies for each class interval.

  2. Midpoints: These are calculated as the average of the two boundaries for each class, e.g., (5+0)/2=2.5(-5 + 0)/2 = -2.5.

  3. Polygon Construction: Frequencies are plotted against midpoints, and the points are connected with lines.
