Statistical Representation of DataPYQ Jan 26Question 4532 of 295
All Questions Correct Answer
✅ Option b — Ogive
All Options:
- AFrequency polygon
- BOgive
- CHistogram
- DLine curve
Detailed Solution & Explanation
Let us examine the graphical representations in statistics:
- **Frequency Polygon:** A graph of a frequency distribution obtained by joining the mid-points of the tops of the bars of a histogram.
- **Ogive:** The graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution (either "less than" or "more than" type).
- **Histogram:** A graphical representation of a grouped frequency distribution using adjacent rectangular bars.
- **Line Curve:** A simple graph plotting data points over time.
Therefore, the diagrammatic representation of the cumulative frequency distribution is the **Ogive**.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
- **Frequency Polygon:** A graph of a frequency distribution obtained by joining the mid-points of the tops of the bars of a histogram.
- **Ogive:** The graphical representation of a cumulative frequency distribution (either "less than" or "more than" type).
- **Histogram:** A graphical representation of a grouped frequency distribution using adjacent rectangular bars.
- **Line Curve:** A simple graph plotting data points over time.
Therefore, the diagrammatic representation of the cumulative frequency distribution is the **Ogive**.
Hence, **Option B** is the correct answer.
