A better option to express the results will be a cumulative frequency curve.

Step-by-step explanation:

At the moment, the moment, the question does not have a histogram, so we will explain the advantages of a frequency distribution curve or polygon.

The Cumulative Frequency Curve allows data to be interpreted continuously. The cumulative frequency prevents "gaps" that are found in the histograms. For instance, a histogram does not provide a frequency distribution of a certain type of data. In addition, the curves clarify better the trends in the data set. Furthermore, large data can be compressed and summarized in a compact form by using the distribution in the data set.
