Previous Knowledge
1 Data &Types of data.
2 Tabulation and ways of tabulation.

The Aim
Students will
understand about the Graphs
of Frequency Distribution.

Introduction
Some question will be asked to check if the student know
Q.What is meant by Data?
A: The numerical figurers obtained from any field of study are
known as data
Q: What are the main existing sources of data?
A: Data can be collected from office record, published paper or
directly from the field according to needs.
Q: What are the main types of data.
A: There are two main types of data
(i) Primary data
(ii) Secondary data

Q:4 In the following which is Primary data & which is

Secondary data.
Following the marks out of 100 obtained by students of class 9
in a monthly test in the subject of mathematics
(i) 60,62,65,66,67,68

Q: What is tabulation
A: To present the data in a classified form
Q: Given below are tow tables identify the one way and two

A: (i) Represent one way tabulation

(ii) Represent two way tabulations
The table (i) in Q.4 & the table given in Q.6 are also
called frequency distribution
Now we are going to present the data given in a more
manageable way that is the way of forming graph for
a given data

Development
CORE CONCEPT:GRAPH OF FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION
DLO:
The students will understand the basic rules
that govern the formation of graph for a frequency
distribution.

Treatment and Procedure

In order to achieve the goal some question will be asked gradually in the
given example.
Example:

Following are the marks out of 100 obtained by

25 students in the subject of Physics
45,50,51,51,54,53,53,52,55,57,54,
58,60,62,59,61,61,62,64,63,48
65,53,66,65
Q.1 Find smaller and larger value
A: smaller value is 45 larger value =66
Q.2 Find the size of class interval by taking the no of
graphs as 5
A.

= 4.2 or 4 approx.

Q3
A

Prepare two columns (a) C.I. (b) Frequency

C.I.

The table made is called Frequency Dist.

Q4
Now extend the table in Q3 by two columns
(a) Class Boundaries (b) Mid-Points
A
For Class Boundaries subtract 0.5 from Lower
Class Limit and add 0.5 in Upper Class Limit.
For Mid-Point find the Average of each Class Limit

C.I.

Q5

Draw a line as x-axis and y-axis on a graph paper.

y-axis

x-axis
Q6
Mark class boundaries on x-axis with a suitable width
proportional to size of C.I.
A

Q7

Set a scale, draw frequencies on y-axis.

Q8
Make a rectangle against each group of height
proportional to the frequency of the class.
A

The graph made is called Histogram 1

Q9

Mark the Mid-point on the top of rectangle and join

all the points.

The graph made is called Frequency Polygon.

Lesson Summary
Graph of Frequency Distribution
1. What is frequency distribution?
2. How Mid-Point of a class is calculated?
3. What is the difference between class intervals and
class
boundaries?
4. What is the difference between Histogram and
Frequency Polygon?

Recapitulation

An oral recap will be carried in about 3 minutes which will

cover the following points
Today we have discussed the process of Presenting a data on
a graph.
We under stand the formation of a frequency distribution
We can also find the class-boundaries and the mid-pts of C.I.

We understand that ,how a data can be present in a more

manageable way through histogram and frequency polygon

The students will be asked if they understand every

that was discussed.

Anything you would like to be revised?

Consolidation
Teacher will invites students to ask questions to remove
their problems. Then, He/She will proceed ahead.

Taking 4 as the size of class interval make a histogram &
frequency polygon

Conclusion
Today We have learnt about the Procedure for The
formation of Histogram & Frequency Polygram for a
given data.
In the next class InshAllah we will discuss the other
form of Graph for a given data.
