Monthly returns for a set of small cap stocks are 1.3%, 0.8%, 0.5%, 3.4%, -3.5%, -1.2%, 1.8%, 2.1%, and 1.5%. An analyst constructs a frequency distribution and a frequency polygon using the following intervals: -4.0% to -2.0%, -2.0% to 0.0%, 0.0% to 2.0%, and 2.0% to 4.0%. Which of the following statements about these data presentations is least accurate?

Which of the following statements about these data presentations is least accurate?



A) A frequency polygon plots the midpoint of each interval on the horizontal axis and the absolute frequency of that interval on the vertical axis.


B) The relative frequency of the interval -2.0% to 0.0% equals the relative frequency of the interval 2.0% to 4.0%.


C) The absolute frequency of the interval 0.0% to 2.0% is 5.
