Example Data Table

This sample shows how running frequency becomes cumulative percent when divided by the grand total.

Score	Frequency	Percent	Cumulative Frequency	Cumulative Percent
10	2	6.67%	2	6.67%
20	5	16.67%	7	23.33%
30	8	26.67%	15	50.00%
40	9	30.00%	24	80.00%
50	6	20.00%	30	100.00%

Formula Used

1. Total frequency:
\( T = \sum f_i \)

2. Percent for each category:
\( \text{Percent}_i = \frac{f_i}{T} \times 100 \)

3. Cumulative frequency:
\( CF_i = \sum_{k=1}^{i} f_k \)

4. Cumulative percent:
\( CP_i = \frac{CF_i}{T} \times 100 \)

5. Raw data mode:
Each unique observation becomes a category, and its count becomes \( f_i \).

FAQs

1. What does cumulative percent mean?

Cumulative percent shows the running share of total observations up to a chosen category or value. It helps explain how much of the dataset has been covered so far.

2. When should I use grouped mode?

Use grouped mode when you already have a frequency table, such as test scores, survey ratings, or class intervals converted into category counts.

3. When should I use raw mode?

Use raw mode when you have individual numbers only. The calculator counts repeated values automatically and builds the frequency distribution for you.

4. Why does ordering matter?

Cumulative percent depends on sequence. Ascending order is common for numeric analysis, while custom order may fit ratings, stages, or ranked categories.

5. Can I calculate percentile positions here?

Yes. Enter a target percentile, such as 75, and the tool identifies the first category where cumulative percent reaches or exceeds that level.

6. Can I include categories with zero frequency?

Yes. Use the zero-frequency option when you want empty categories kept in the ordered table, especially for reporting templates or complete scales.

7. What does the graph show?

The graph compares category frequencies and cumulative percent progression. It is useful for spotting concentration, skew, and thresholds visually.

8. Can I export my results?

Yes. CSV export is useful for spreadsheets, while PDF export creates a formatted report with summary details and the result table.
