  2. A cumulative frequency distribution displays the aggregate frequency of the category. In other words, for discrete data, it displays the total number of observations less than or equal to the category. For continuous data, it displays the total number of observations less than or equal to the upper class limit of a class. A cumulative relative frequency distribution displays the aggregate proportion (or percent) of observations less than or equal to the category.

  3. The class midpoint is found by adding a class’s lower class limit and upper class limit and dividing the result by 2. That is,

  4. A frequency polygon is drawn by plotting a point above each class midpoint on a horizontal axis at a height equal to the frequency of the class. After the points for each class are plotted, draw straight lines between consecutive points.

  7. An ogive (read as “oh jive”) is a graph that represents the cumulative frequency or cumulative relative frequency for the class. It is constructed by plotting points whose x-coordinates are the upper class limits and whose y-coordinates are the cumulative frequencies or cumulative relative frequencies. After the points for each class are plotted, draw straight lines between consecutive points.

  10. If the value of a variable is measured at different points in time, the data is referred to as time series data. A time series plot is obtained by plotting the time in which a variable is measured on the horizontal axis and the corresponding value of the variable on the vertical axis. Lines are then drawn connecting the points.
