Quick Recall Flashcards

What is cumulative frequency?

Cumulative frequency is the running total of frequencies up to and including each class. It shows how many data values fall below the upper boundary of each class.

How do you calculate cumulative frequency?

Start with the first frequency. For each subsequent class, add the current frequency to the previous cumulative frequency: CF₂ = CF₁ + f₂ CF₃ = CF₂ + f₃, and so on.
