Correct Answer Explanation

A Frequency Curve is the graphic representation of a frequency distribution.

Key Points:
  • In a frequency curve: X-axis = Class marks, Y-axis = Frequency
  • It shows the shape and pattern of the distribution visually.
  • An equal-interval frequency distribution gives one type of curve (Fig 3.1), while unequal intervals give a smoother, more detailed curve (Fig 3.2).
  • The frequency curve with unequal class intervals more accurately represents where data is concentrated.
