The polygonal line obtained by joining the points the abscissa of which is the upper limit on each class and the ordinate of which is the cumulative absolute frequency.  3, record 3, English, - cumulative%20frequency%20polygon

In French the term "fréquence" usually refers to relative values while in English the term frequency refers to absolute values, unless otherwise specified or made clear by a context.  4, record 3, English, - cumulative%20frequency%20polygon

Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 OBS

A frequency distribution can be accumulated beginning at either end to form a cumulative frequency polygon. Accumulation from the beginning of the frequency distribution produces a "less than" frequency polygon while accumulation from the end of the frequency distribution produces a "more than" frequency polygon. In the above definition, SPIST refers only to the "less than" concept and neglects the other which should be included.  4, record 3, English, - cumulative%20frequency%20polygon

The frequency polygon is drawn by plotting a point on the graph at the intersection of the midpoint of the interval and the height of the frequency. When the points are plotted, the dots are connected with lines, resulting in a frequency polygon.  2, record 4, English, - frequency%20polygon

In French, the term "fréquence" always refers to relative values. In English, the term frequency refers to absolute values unless otherwise specified or made clear by a context. The term frequency polygon, therefore, usually involves absolute values while the polygon involving relative values is called relative frequency polygon or percentage polygon.  3, record 4, English, - frequency%20polygon

Graphical representations of relative frequency distributions can be obtained from the histogram or frequency polygon by simply changing the vertical scale from frequency to relative frequency, keeping exactly the same diagram. The resulting graphs are called relative frequency histograms or percentage histograms and relative frequency polygons or percentage polygons, respectively.  2, record 5, English, - relative%20frequency%20polygon

This concept does not seem to have a set terminological unit to designate it in the target language. The concept does exist in the English language, however, as the following text indicates :"A frequency polygon is a line graph of class frequency plotted against class mark. It can be obtained by connecting midpoints of the tops of the rectangles in the histogram.... the sum of the areas of the rectangles in the histogram equals the total area bounded by the frequency polygon and the X axis...  2, record 6, English, - equivalence

Polygones de fréquences déduit de l'histogramme. [...] Il suffit de joindre les milieux des sommets de chaque rectangle par des segments de droite [pour réaliser le] passage de l'histogramme à la courbe adoucie ou régularisée par rapport au polygone, dite courbe de fréquence. La courbe se construit en appliquant le principe dit de la conservation des aires. La régularisation opérée par la courbe de fréquence doit être telle que la somme des aires éliminées [...] soit égale à la somme des aires incorporées [...] de manière que l'aire comprise à l'intérieur de la courbe soit la même que l'aire de l'histogramme.  1, record 6, French, - conservation%20des%20aires

A symmetrical distribution means that the middle class has the highest frequency and that the frequencies above the middle class of the distribution exactly correspond to the frequencies below the middle class. If the frequency distribution is shown by a bar chart(histogram) or a line chart(frequency polygon), a vertical line through the mid-point of the middle class may divide the graph into two perfect identical halves.  1, record 7, English, - symmetrical%20distribution
