For Which Type Of Variable Is The Cumulative Frequency Distribution Meaningless? Why?

I think Cumulative frequency distribution meaningless in case of variable which contains the outliers but I am not sure. Could anyone suggest me?

Thanks!

statistics homework off

Can you please tell us what is your concrete bioinformatics problem? That would make it much easier for people to give you a useful answer.

your question doesn't make sense, not related to bioinformatics -> closed

Lacking any context, my answer would be that cumulative frequency distributions are meaningless for variables that cannot be sorted, e.g. categorial variables and complex variables.
