    basically the cumulative frequency (cf) is the number of subject in or below each category

    cumulative percentage (c%) is cf divided by N (# of subjects) . . . . . c% is the percentile (the % of subjects who fell at or below a certain score)

    N= 50 (sum of the frequency)

    X f cf c%

    10 2 50 100

    9 5 48 96

    8 8 43 86

    7 15 35 70

    6 10 20 40

    5 6 10 20

    4 4 4 8

    Since I filled in the chart, why don't you try to figure out the questions. Post your answers and we can see if you got them correct.

    Normally, whenever I appear in any examination, I first attempt easy questions. Difficult questions, I take up at the end. I think this is a tough question.
