Frequency polygon
• Is a chart for interval or ratio variable
• Smoother than histogram
• Total area 100%
• Constructing using histogram
• Dot placed in the middle of each interval bar
• The dots are connected in order to straight lines then the histogram
erased leaving a rough estimate of the shape of data distribution

Steam & Leaf Display
• Known as stemplots
• Alternative way of graphing data
• Similar to histogram
• Advantage: preserve the individual values of the
variable
Percentile rank,
cumulative
frequency, &
ogives
• The percentile rank of a value
• 50th Percentile (50%) or 𝑃50
placed in the middle of data
• Ogive is the graph to obtain

Normal Distribution
• Also known as Gaussian distribution
• Has single peak and symmetrical shape
• 𝜒=𝜇
• Mean, median and mode are equal
• The total are under the curve and above the
x-axis is equal to 1
