Detailed Solution & Explanation
A J-shaped frequency curve is a type of curve where the class frequencies change continuously from one end to the other.
- A standard **J-shaped curve** starts with a **minimum frequency** at the left end (lowest class boundary) and increases continuously and rapidly, reaching its maximum frequency at the right end (highest class boundary).
- An example of this is the distribution of commuters at a metro station from early morning hours to peak office hours.
- A **reverse J-shaped curve** is the mirror image, starting with a maximum frequency and decreasing to a minimum.
However, by standard definition in statistics textbooks, a regular J-shaped curve is defined as starting with a minimum frequency. Thus, the correct option is Option A.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
