From the above frequency polygon I can interpret that 42 students appeared in the class test. The
mark for the test is 40. Out of 40 marks -

 1 student got marks from the range of 5-9,

 6 students got the marks from the range of 10-14,
 8 students got marks from the range of 15-19 and
 Only 10 students got marks from the range of 20-24,
 6 students got marks from the range 25-29,
 6 students got marks from the of 30-34
 3 student got marks from the 35-39
 2 student got marks from the 40-44

The highest frequency is fall under the range of 20-24 and the lowest frequency is falling under
5-9 and 40-44. The statistical data of the test is given below:
