The following table gives the distribution of students of sections $A$ and $B$ of a class according to the marks obtained by them.
Marks Section $A$ Frequency Section $B$ Frequency
$0-15$ $3$ $3$
$15-30$ $12$ $16$
$30-45$ $28$ $25$
$45-60$ $30$ $27$
$60-75$ $35$ $40$
$75-90$ $13$ $10$

Represent the marks of the students of both the sections on the same graph by two frequency polygons. What do you observe?

(N/A) To construct the frequency polygons,we first calculate the class marks (mid-points) for each interval:
Marks Class Mark Section $A$ Frequency Section $B$ Frequency
$0-15$ $7.5$ $3$ $3$
$15-30$ $22.5$ $12$ $16$
$30-45$ $37.5$ $28$ $25$
$45-60$ $52.5$ $30$ $27$
$60-75$ $67.5$ $35$ $40$
$75-90$ $82.5$ $13$ $10$

$1$. For Section $A$,we plot the points $(7.5, 3), (22.5, 12), (37.5, 28), (52.5, 30), (67.5, 35), (82.5, 13)$ and join them with solid line segments.
$2$. For Section $B$,we plot the points $(7.5, 3), (22.5, 16), (37.5, 25), (52.5, 27), (67.5, 40), (82.5, 10)$ and join them with dotted line segments.
$3$. Observation: The frequency polygon for Section $B$ is higher in the range of $60-75$ marks compared to Section $A$,indicating that more students in Section $B$ achieved higher marks in that range. Overall,the performance of Section $B$ is better in the higher marks bracket.
