Chapter 2: Q.16 (page 128)

What is the difference between cumulative relative frequency and relative frequency for each data value?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The ratio of the number of times a data value appears in a dataset is represented by relative frequency, whereas cumulative frequency is the sum of the relative frequencies.

Step by step solution

01

Content Introduction

Each frequency from a frequency distribution table is added to the sum of its predecessors to get the cumulative frequency. Because all frequencies have already been added to the previous total, the last value will always equal the total for all observations.

A relative frequency distribution is connected to a probability distribution, which is widely used in statistics, and illustrates the proportion of the total number of observations associated with each value or class of values.

The ratio of the number of times a data value appears in a dataset is represented by relative frequency, whereas cumulative frequency is the sum of the relative frequencies.
