Lesson

Cumulative Frequency and Ogives

Cumulative frequency (CF) is the running total of frequencies up to a certain class. It shows how many observations fall below a particular value. Two types exist: "less than CF" and "more than CF". CF tables help determine medians, quartiles, and percentiles, which describe the distribution’s overall shape.

Concept

Mean (Average)

The mean is the sum of all observations divided by the number of observations. 💡 Exam Tip: Arrange raw data before finding the median, and identify the class mark correctly in grouped data. In grouped mean, write the formula before substituting. ⚠️ Common Mistake: Students often use the wrong middle term for median or confuse frequency with cumulative frequency. 📌 Trigger: Organise data first
