014. Cumulative Relative Frequency Distribution

A Cumulative relative frequency distribution expresses the cumulative frequency of each class relative to the entire sample. The cumulative process can be based on a more-than or less-than principle. A less-than cumulative relative frequency distribution is shown in Table 2.9. The last column provides the information in which we are interested. It shows, for example, 80 percent of the time less than 90 passengers boarded P&P airplanes.
