Cumulative Frequency Distribution:
A cumulative frequency distribution is a summary of a set of data showing the frequency (or number) of items less than or equal to the upper class limit of each class. This definition holds for quantitative data and for categorical (qualitative) data (but only if the latter are ordinal – that is, a natural order of items is specified).
