Cumulative Frequency Tables and Graphs Tutorial

What is the initial step in creating a cumulative frequency column?

• Subtracting each value from the total

• Adding each value to the previous total

• Multiplying each value by the previous total

• Dividing each value by the previous total

Why is it important to verify the total in a cumulative frequency table?

• To confirm the cumulative frequency matches the total of individual frequencies

• To ensure the values are in ascending order

• To check if the values are evenly distributed

• To make sure the values are in descending order

How can you determine the frequency of a specific category using cumulative frequency?

• By subtracting the cumulative frequency of the previous category

• By dividing the cumulative frequency by the total number of categories

• By adding the cumulative frequency of the next category

• By multiplying the cumulative frequency by the total number of categories

What shape does the cumulative frequency graph typically form?

• A circular curve

• A straight line

• A zigzag pattern

• An S-shaped curve

When plotting cumulative frequency on a graph, where should you plot the points?

• At the end of each group

• At the beginning of each group

• At the midpoint of each group

• Randomly within each group
