Guys this is really important and really urgent.......Very recently my teacher told me that for our maths exams when we et a cumulative frequency curve to make, from now on we need to join all the points with straight ruled lines instead of a curve though all the points.....guys is that really true???cuz till nnow we've been taught  to makea curve nd not straight line.......
any idea guys???
wud be really gud if u cud ask ur teachers d same thing for a confirmation...cuz i fail to believe this news......
Thanx in advance!!!!

i'm pretty confused now after hearing to the "probably fake" news...

a cum. freq. curve would look horrendous with all the points joined with a ruler~!!!..lol..

ask ur teacher where did she read it....because that thing has to be official..

By the way..i guess theres no mention of it in any SYL.

I called them but the person who could answer my query was not available. I think he has piles or hemorrhoids - look them up. Anyway, I had to send them an email. Am awaiting their response.
