Solution

The correct option is B False
A frequency polygon, not a frequency curve, is drawn by joining the midpoints of all the top edges of the rectangles in a histogram by straight lines. A frequency curve is meant to be an approximate reflection of the frequency polygon and is drawn using curvy and wavy lines unlike that of a frequency polygon.
