Kumulatívne

Kumulatívne is a Swedish word that translates to "cumulative" in English. It is used to describe the process of accumulation or growth over time. The term can be applied in various contexts, including finance, statistics, and general usage.

In finance, kumulatívne interest refers to compound interest, where interest earned is added to the principal, and subsequent interest is calculated on the new, larger principal. This leads to exponential growth over time. Similarly, kumulatívne dividends might refer to dividends that are paid out over a period, with the total amount increasing as more dividends are issued.

In statistics, a kumulatívne frequency distribution shows the total number of observations that fall below a certain value. This is useful for understanding the distribution of data and identifying percentiles. For example, a kumulatívne sales figure would represent the total sales up to a specific point in time.

More broadly, the term kumulatívne can describe any process where things build up or add together. This could include the kumulatívne effects of pollution, the kumulatívne experience gained from a job, or the kumulatívne impact of small decisions. The core idea is that the sum of individual parts or events creates a larger, combined outcome. The word emphasizes the ongoing nature of this process and the growing total.
