Question:24
Define cumulative frequency distribution.
Solution:
Cumulative frequency distribution is a table which displays the manner in which cumulative frequencies are
distributed over various classes.
In a grouped frequency distribution the cumulative frequency of a class is the total of all frequencies upto and
including that particular class. Make sure that, for calculating cumulative frequencies, the classes should be
written in ascending order.
For example, the following table gives the cumulative frequency distribution of marks scored by 55 students in a
test:
Cumulative frequency distributions are of two types, namely, less than and greater than or more than. For less than
cumulative frequency distributions we add up the frequencies from the above and for greater than cumulative
frequencies we add up the frequencies from below.
Question:25
Explain the difference between a frequency distribution and a cumulative frequency distribution.
Solution:
Frequency distribution displays the frequencies of the corresponding class-intervals. But, the cumulative frequency
distribution displays the cumulative frequencies of the corresponding classes.
For example, the following table gives the frequency and cumulative frequency distribution of marks scored by 55
students in a test:
In a frequency distribution, the sum of all the frequencies is equal to the total number of observations. But, in the
cumulative frequency distribution, the last cumulative frequency is same as the total number of observations. For
example, in the above table the sum of all the frequencies is 55, which is same as the total number of students and
the last cumulative frequency is 55, which is same as the total number of students.
Question:26
The marks scored by 55 students in a test are given below:
 
Marks: 0-5 5-10 10-15 15-20 20-25 25-30 30-35
