The following table shows a frequency distribution for the speed of cars passing through a particular spot on a highway:
Class interval $(km/h)$Frequency
$30-40$$3$
$40-50$$6$
$50-60$$25$
$60-70$$65$
$70-80$$50$
$80-90$$28$
$90-100$$14$

Draw the frequency polygon representing the above data without drawing the histogram.

(N/A) To draw the frequency polygon without a histogram,we first calculate the class marks (mid-points) for each interval.
Class interval $(km/h)$Class marksFrequency
$30-40$$35$$3$
$40-50$$45$$6$
$50-60$$55$$25$
$60-70$$65$$65$
$70-80$$75$$50$
$80-90$$85$$28$
$90-100$$95$$14$

$1$. Plot the points $(35, 3), (45, 6), (55, 25), (65, 65), (75, 50), (85, 28),$ and $(95, 14)$ on a graph paper.
$2$. To close the polygon,include two additional class intervals with zero frequency: $20-30$ (mid-point $25$) and $100-110$ (mid-point $105$).
$3$. Join the points $(25, 0), (35, 3), (45, 6), (55, 25), (65, 65), (75, 50), (85, 28), (95, 14),$ and $(105, 0)$ with line segments to obtain the frequency polygon.
