Solution

Steps:

1. Draw a histogram for the given data.

2. Mark the mid-point at the top of each rectangle of the histogram drawn.

3. Also, mark the mid-point of the immediately lower class-interval and mid-point of the immediately higher class-interval.

4. Join the consecutive mid-point marked by straight lines to obtain the required frequency polygon.

5. The require combined histogram and frequency polygon are shown in the following figure:
