Cumulative GPA is your complete GPA after all your courses have been figured out.
The following examples on how to calculate cumulative GPA's are based on the following scales.
Regular Scale:Now using these two scales lets give an example.
Freshmen Year (9th Grade):
1st Semester
English 9 - B+
Algebra 1 - A-
Physical Science - C+
World History - D-
2nd Semester
English 9 - A
Algebra 1 - A-
Physical Science - B+
World History - B-
Now you'd take the value of your letter grades using the GPA scale.
Semester 1
3.33 + 3.66 + 2.33 + 0.66 = 9.98.
Semester 2
4.0 + 3.66 + 3.33 + 2.66 = 13.65
Total: 13.65 + 9.98 = 23.63 ÷ 8 grades = 2.95375; So roughly a 3.0 average (B).
You'd complete these steps taking your total (23.63 for 9th Grade) and adding it to your totals for the other grades, dividing by the number of classes at the end.
So If you ended High School with a Total of 80 points and you took 28 classes total during your High School time your cumulative GPA would be 80 ÷ 28 or 2.857 or a 2.9 average.

To calculate cumulative frequency, you first need to have a frequency distribution table. Start by adding up the frequencies of the first category. Then, for each subsequent category, add the frequency to the cumulative frequency of the previous category. The final cumulative frequency will be the total number of observations in the data set.
c=frequency x wavelength
"Cumulative" means "total." Take the last measurement, subtract the first measurement. That is cumulative growth. Example: I have a plant 1 inch tall on Monday, it grew to 3 inches on Tuesday, but it got sick and shrank to 2 inches on Wednesday. The cumulative growth is Wednesday minus Monday -- 1 inch.
The mean is simply the average. Mean = Sum of data divided by the total number of observations.
cumulative percentage = (cumulative frequency ÷ n) x 100
