Not directly, but the cumulative frequency contains the same information as the frequencies for the values in question. However, it may not show the full details of the distribution if the values have been grouped.

What is the cumulative column frequency distribution table?

Cumulative Frequency is The total of a frequency and all frequencies so far in a frequency distribution. It is the 'running total' of frequencies in the frequency distribution table.


What is cumulative percent?

Cumulative percentage is another way of expressing frequency distribution. It calculates the percentage of the cumulative frequency within each interval, much as relative frequency distribution calculates the percentage of frequency.


Is a histogram a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution?

No it is not. The ogive is a graph that represents the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.


Is an ogive a graph of cumulative frequency distribution?

yes. An ogive is also known as a cumulative frequency graph.


What is utility of cumulative frequency curve?

The main utility of a cumulative frequency curve is to show the distribution of the data points and its skew. It can be used to find the median, the upper and lower quartiles, and the range of the data.


The graph of a cumulative frequency distribution is called?

ogive


What does a cumulative frequency distribution show?

A cumulative frequency distribution shows the accumulation of frequencies up to a certain point in a dataset, allowing for the visualization of how many observations fall below a specific value. It helps in understanding the distribution of data, identifying percentiles, and analyzing trends. This type of distribution is often represented graphically with a cumulative frequency curve, which can highlight the proportion of data below various thresholds. Overall, it provides insight into the overall distribution pattern of the data.


Can you show me an example of an ogive graph?

Ogives are often used in statistics to represent the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution.


What is a cumulative frequency distribution?

According to Anderson, Sweeney Williams book Essential of Statistics For Business and Economics, 4e Edition, 2006 p. 34 cumulative frequency distribution is "a variation of the frequency distribution that provides another tabular summary of quantitative data." In simple terms, the cumulative frequency distribution is the sum of the frequencies of all points or outcomes below and including the current point.


Definition of ogive diagram?

An ogive is a type of graph that is used to represent the cumulative frequencies for the classes in a frequency distribution. This type of graph can also be known as a cumulative frequency graph. The cumulative frequency is the sum of the frequencies accumulated up to the upper boundary of a class in the distribution.


How do you calculate cumulative frequency?

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.


How do you draw a cumulative frequency frequency polygon and a frequency curve?

To draw a cumulative frequency frequency polygon, plot cumulative frequency on the y-axis and the upper boundary of each class interval on the x-axis. Then connect the points with straight line segments, starting from the x-axis at 0 cumulative frequency. For a frequency curve, plot the midpoint of each class interval on the x-axis and the frequency on the y-axis. Then connect the points smoothly with a curve to show the distribution of data.
