Based on the frequency distribution above, find the relative frequency for the class with lower class limit 35

Give your answer as a percent, rounded to one decimal place.

Relative Frequency =

Relative frequency of the (35 - 38) class = 0.2 = 20.0%

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative frequency is a measure of comparing a variable's frequency with the total/cumulative frequency.

Mathematically, it is given as

Relative frequency = (frequency of variable) / (total or cumulative frequency)

To find the relative frequency for the class with lower class limit 35

From the table,

The frequency of the (35 - 38) class = 6

Total or cumulative frequency = sum of all the frequencies in the table = 2+2+8+2+10+6 = 30

Relative frequency of the (35 - 38) class = 6/30 = 0.2 = 20.0%
