What is a cumulative frequency distribution? Explain the various cumulative frequency distributions.
✓

Answer

A cumulative frequency distribution is that in which the frequencies are progressively totalled and aggregates are shown.It can be of two types:
  1. 'Less Than' Cumulative Frequency Distribution In this frequency distribution, the frequencies of each class interval are added successively from top to bottom.
Following is an example of 'less than' cumulative frequency distribution:
Size of Items
Cumulative Frequency (CF)
Less than 10
6
Less than 20
15
Less than 30
28
Less than 40
35
  1. 'More Than' Cumulative Frequency Distribution: In this frequency distribution, the cumulative frequencies of each class interval is obtained by finding the cumulative total of frequencies starting from the highest value to the lowest value of class.
Class Interval
Cumulative Frequency (CF)
More than 0
35
More than 10
28
More than 20
15
More than 30

Read the following information carefully and answer the questions 1-2 on the basis of the same:
In a perfectly competitive market, a firm believes that it can sell as many units of the good as it wants by setting a price less than or equal to the market price. But, if this is the case, surely there is no reason to set a price lower than the market price. In other words, should the firm desire to sell some amount of the good, the price that it sets is exactly equal to the market price. A firm earns revenue by selling the good that it produces in the market. Let the market price of a unit of the good be p. Let q be the quantity of the good produced, and therefore sold, by the firm at price p. Then, total revenue (TR) of the firm is defined as the market price of the good (p) multiplied by the firm's output (q). Hence, TR = p x q.
1. State the relationship between marginal revenue and total revenue.
2. Under perfect competition, rate of TR never declines. Do you agree?"
