Cumulative frequency

distribution
 A frequency distribution simply tells us how frequently a particular value of
the variable is occurring.
 The frequency is the number of times an event occurs within a given
scenario. Cumulative frequency is defined as the running total of
frequencies. It is the sum of all the previous frequencies up to the current
point. It is easily understandable through a Cumulative Frequency Table.
 Cumulative frequency can be further be classified into.
1. less than cumulative frequency
2. more than cumulative frequency
Less than cumulative frequency

 Less than cumulative frequency for any value of the variable is obtained on
adding successively the frequency of variable against which the totals are
written.

marks frequency
30-35 5
35-40 10
40-45 15
45-50 30
50-55 5
55-60 5
More than cumulative frequency

 The more than cumulative frequency is obtained similarly by finding the

cumulative totals of frequencies starting from the highest value of the
variable to the lowest value of variable.
Tabulation

 A statistical table is the logical listing of related quantitative data in vertical

columns and horizontal rows of numbers with sufficient explanatory and
qualifying words, phrases and statements in the form of titles, headings and
notes to make clear the full meaning of data and their origin.
 The various parts of table are as follows
QUESTION

 Present the following information in a suitable tabular form, supplying the

figures not given directly.
In 1995 out of 2000 workers in a factory, 1550 were members of a trade
union. The number of women workers employed was 250, out of which 200
did not belong to trade union
In 2000, the number of union workers was 1725 of which 1600 were men.
The number of non-union workers was 380, among which 155 were women.
