The Frequency Polygon

The frequency polygon is a graph that displays the data by using lines to connect points plotted for the frequencies at the midpoints of the classes. The frequencies are represented by the heights of the points.

The Ogive (pronounced o-jive)

The ogive is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.

The Ogive (pronounced o-jive)

The ogive is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.

Ogive frequency graphs are constructed similar to a histogram, with one exception. In this case the y axis represents the cumulative frequency.
