Similar is the frequency polygon, constructed by plotting the class midpoints against their respective frequencies and joining the plotted points. If it is meaningful to do so (depending on the shape of the polygon, the certainty felt that the sample is representative of the population, the way that the data has been classified, etc.) a frequency curve may be drawn that best fits the plotted points.
