Given:-

Athletic club of 232 members and their height's frequency.

Concept used:-

Frequency Polygon:-  A frequency polygon is a graph constructed by using lines to join the midpoints of each interval or bin. The heights of the points represent the frequencies. A frequency polygon can be created from the histogram or by calculating the midpoints of the bins from the frequency distribution table.

Formula Used:

Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit

Calculation:

From histogram -

Class size = Upper limit - Lower limit

Class size = 125 - 120 = 5

∴ Mid point of a class = 5/2 = 2.5

So, Starting point of Line graph -

X - co-ordinate = 120 - 2.5 = 117.5

Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point = 0

∴ Starting point = (117.5,0)

End point of Line graph -

X - co-ordinate = 170 + 2.5 = 172.5

Y - co-ordinate = frequency of point =  0

∴ End point = (172.5,0)

Required points are (117.5,0) and (172.5,0).
