Data Histogram

The document outlines the aim of studying graphic representation of data, specifically through graphs, histograms, frequency polygons, frequency curves, and ogives. It details the construction and interpretation of these graphical representations using seed yield data as examples. The document emphasizes the importance of choosing suitable scales and accurately plotting frequencies against class intervals.

EXPERIMENT No.

AIM: To study graphic representation of data

Graphs - Graphs are charts consisting of points, lines and curves. Charts are drawn on graph
sheets. Suitable scales are to be chosen for both x and y axes, so that the entire data can be
presented in the graph sheet. Graphical representations are used for grouped quantitative data.

Histogram- When the data are classified based on the class intervals it can be represented by
a histogram. Histogram is just like a simple bar diagram with minor differences. There is no
gap between the bars, since the classes are continuous. The bars are drawn only in outline
without colouring or marking as in the case of simple bar diagrams. It is the suitable form to
represent a frequency distribution.

Class intervals are to be presented in x axis and the bases of the bars are the respective class
intervals. Frequencies are to be represented in y axis. The heights of the bars are equal to the
corresponding frequencies.

PROCEDURE:
Example
Draw a histogram for the following data
Seed Yield (gms) No. of Plants
2.5-3.5 4
3.5-4.5 6
4.5-5.5 10
5.5-6.5 26
6.5-7.5 24
7.5-8.5 15
8.5-9.5 10
9.5-10.5 5

Frequency Polygon –
The frequencies of the classes are plotted by dots against the mid-points of each class. The
adjacent dots are then joined by straight lines. The resulting graph is known as frequency
polygon.
Example
Draw frequency polygon for the following data

Seed Yield (gms) No. of Plants


2.5-3.5 4
3.5-4.5 6
4.5-5.5 10
5.5-6.5 26
6.5-7.5 24
7.5-8.5 15
8.5-9.5 10
9.5-10.5 5

Frequency curve
The procedure for drawing a frequency curve is same as for frequency polygon. But the
points are joined by smooth or free hand curve.
Example
Draw frequency curve for the following data
Seed Yield (gms) No. of Plants
2.5-3.5 4
3.5-4.5 6
4.5-5.5 10
5.5-6.5 26
6.5-7.5 24
7.5-8.5 15
8.5-9.5 10
9.5-10.5 5
Ogives
Ogives are known also as cumulative frequency curves and there are two kinds of ogives.
One is less than ogive and the other is more than ogive.

Less than ogive: Here the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the upper boundary of
respective class interval.

Greater than ogive: Here the cumulative frequencies are plotted against the lower
boundaries of respective class intervals.

Example
Mid Frequency < cumulative > cumulative
Continuous Point Frequency frequency
Interval
0-10 5 4 4 29
10-20 15 7 11 25
20-30 25 6 17 18
30-40 35 10 27 12
40-50 45 2 29 2
