The following is the distribution of weights (in kg) of 40 persons :
Weight (in kg) | 40-45 | 45-50 | 50-55 | 55-60 | 60-65 | 65-70 | 70-75 | 70-75 |
Number of person | 4 | 4 | 13 | 5 | 6 | 5 | 2 | 1 |
Construct a cumulative frequency distribution (of the less than type) table for the data above.
Solution. Frequency distribution: It tells how frequencies are distributed over values in a frequency distribution. However mostly we use frequency distribution to summarize categorical variables.
CI. | f | cf |
40-45 | 4 | 4 |
45-50 | 4 | 8 |
50-55 | 13 | 21 |
55-60 | 5 | 26 |
60-65 | 6 | 32 |
65-70 | 5 | 37 |
70-75 | 2 | 39 |
75-80 | 1 | 40 |
