probability as relative frequency

The number which tells us how many times a particular data appears is called the frequency. For example, 2 marks have been scored by five students which means marks 2 occurs five times. Therefore, the frequency of score 2 is five. Similarly, the frequency of mark..

Frequency Polygon - In a frequency distribution, the mid-value of each class is obtained. Then on the graph paper, the frequency is plotted against the corresponding mid-value. These points are joined by straight lines. These straight lines may be extended in both dire..

Frequency Distribution - A teacher gave a test to a class of 26 students. The maximum mark is 5. The marks obtained by the pupils are: Such data as above is called ungrouped (or raw) data. We may arrange the marks in ascending or descending order. The data so represented is called an arra..

Cumulative frequency is obtained by adding the frequency of a class interval and the frequencies of the preceding intervals upto that class interva..

Cumulative Frequency Distribution - Cumulative frequency is obtained by adding the frequency of a class interval and the frequencies of the preceding intervals upto that class interval. This is explained by an example below. The following frequency ..

There are two ways of constructing an ogive or cumulative frequency curve. (Ogive is pronounced as O-jive). The curve is usually of 'S' shape. We illustrate both methods by examples given below: Draw a 'less than' ogive curve for the following dat..

Histogram - A two dimensional frequency density diagram is called a histogram. A histogram is a diagram which represents the class interval and frequency in the form of a rectangle. There will be as many adjoining rectangles as there are class interva..

The number which tells us how many times a particular data appears is called the frequency. For example, 2 marks have been scored by five students which means marks 2 occurs five times. Therefore, the frequency of score 2 is five. Similarly, the frequency of marks ..

Summary - Two types of graphical representation of data are the histogram and the ogive. A histogram is a diagram which represents the class interval and frequency in the form of a rectangle. When the class intervals are unequal, each rectangle is constructed with the class interval as th..
