Cumulative frequency is found by adding up all successive frequencies in a frequency distribution table and totals or gradually builds up over time. A cumulative frequency histogram uses the cumulative frequency column from a table to create a graph that looks like upward steps, and an ogive line graph drawn on the histogram connects the corners of each successive column starting from the bottom left corner to show the accumulating total.

4. Cumulative Frequency A cumulative frequency histogram is like a frequency histogram but uses the cumulative frequency column to graph the data. It looks like steps going upwards.
