Cumulative Frequency and Data Analysis

The video tutorial introduces the concept of cumulative frequency, explaining its significance and how it differs from simple frequency. It covers the use of frequency tables, the process of calculating cumulative frequency, and how to determine the median from a data set. The tutorial also demonstrates how to create a cumulative frequency polygon, emphasizing the importance of precision in graphing for accurate calculations.

What does the term 'cumulative' imply in cumulative frequency?

• Counting each score separately

• Ignoring previous scores

• Accumulating all previous scores

• Including only the highest score

Why is data often grouped into classes in frequency tables?

• To simplify data representation

• To increase the number of data points

• To ensure all data points are unique

• To make data analysis more complex

Which of the following is NOT a measure of central tendency?

• Range

• Median

• Mode

• Mean

What is a modal class?

• A single score with the highest frequency

• A group of scores with the highest frequency

• The average of all scores

• The middle score in a data set

How do you calculate the position of the median in a data set?

• n plus 1 divided by 2

• n minus 1 divided by 2

• n divided by 2

• n times 2

What is the cumulative frequency of the class 40 to 49 if the previous class has a frequency of 3?

• 6

• 9

• 12

• 3

What is the purpose of a cumulative frequency polygon?

• To display individual data points

• To visualize the accumulation of frequencies

• To calculate the mean

• To find the mode

What is the first step in drawing a cumulative frequency polygon?

• Setting up axes for scores and cumulative frequency

• Drawing a bar chart

• Calculating the mean

• Plotting individual scores

Why is precision important when drawing a cumulative frequency polygon?

• To confuse the viewer

• To ensure the graph looks neat

• To accurately perform calculations

• To make the graph colorful

What is the range of scores on the x-axis for the cumulative frequency polygon in this example?

• 0 to 64

• 20 to 80

• 30 to 89

• 10 to 100
