All Questions Correct Answer
✅ Option a — Cumulative Frequency distribution
All Options:
- ACumulative Frequency distribution
- BUngrouped Data
- CA frequency distribution
- DNone of the above
Detailed Solution & Explanation
An Ogive (or cumulative frequency curve) is a graph used to represent cumulative frequency distributions. It is constructed by plotting cumulative frequencies on the vertical y-axis against class boundaries on the horizontal x-axis.
- The **Less than Ogive** plots upper class boundaries against cumulative frequencies representing values less than or equal to those boundaries.
- The **More than Ogive** plots lower class boundaries against cumulative frequencies representing values greater than or equal to those boundaries.
In contrast, a standard frequency distribution (non-cumulative) is represented by a histogram or a frequency polygon. Therefore, an Ogive is the graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution.
Hence, **Option A** is the correct answer.
