Mark the class intervals along the X-axis and the frequency along the Y-axis. We take the imagined classes 0-10 at the beginning and 90-100 at the end, each with frequency zero. We have tabulated the data as shown.

Using the adjacent table, plot the points A (5, 0), B (15, 4), C (25, 6), D (35, 8), E (45, 10), F (55, 12), G (65, 14), H (75, 7), I (85, 5) and J (95, 0).

We draw the line segments AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH, HI, IJ to obtain the required frequency polygon ABCDEFGHIJ, which is shown in the picture given below.

Scale :

X - axis 1 cm = 10 units

Y - axis 1 cm = 2 units

Mark the class intervals along the X-axis and the frequency along the Y-axis. We take the imagined classes 0-10 at the beginning and 60-70 at the end, each with frequency zero. We have tabulated the data as shown.

Using the adjacent table, plot the points A (5, 6), B (15, 11), C (25, 25), D (35, 35), E (45, 18), F (55, 12), G (65, 6), and H (75, 0)

We draw the line segments AB, BC, CD, DE, EF, FG, GH, HI to obtain the required frequency polygon ABCDEFGHI, which is shown in the picture given below.

Scale :

X - axis 1 cm = 10 units

Y - axis 1 cm = 5 units
