Class work
The following data are taken from record unit of certain
hospital. The observations include the blood type of donors
with Rh factor in bracket.

Frequency Polygon
Example: Histogram and Frequency Polygon
• .
Histogram
Description of Histogram:
❑ Is a chart that shows the frequency
distribution of data points for numerical
(quantitative) values.
❑ It representing data with rectangular bars
❑ The height of each bar depicts the frequency
of the data values. A histogram differs from a
bar graph in that the vertical columns are
drawn with no space in between them.

Difference between
Bar Graph and Histogram
❑ Bar Graph is for categorical data while
Histogram is for numerical data
❑ A histogram differs from a bar graph in that
the vertical columns/bars are drawn with no
space in between them.
Frequency Polygon
Description of Frequency Polygon:
✓It is used for Grouped Data
✓It is a frequency diagram that plots
the midpoints of the class intervals against the
frequencies, i.e. x-axis: midpoints; y-axis:
frequencies
✓ Finally we connect the frequency points with
straight lines.
Group Assignment
Use quantitative hypothetical data from
chemistry field of study and construct
1. Frequency Distribution
2. Bar Chart
3. Pie Chart
4. Histogram
5. Cumulative Frequency Polygon highest to lowest
6. Cumulative Frequency Polygon lowest to highest
