To find relative percentages, we need to divide the frequency of each interval by the total frequency and multiply by 100. Doing this for each interval, we get:
- Interval 1: (2/10) x 100 = 20%
- Interval 2: (1/10) x 100 = 10%
- Interval 3: (2/10) x 100 = 20%
- Interval 4: (4/10) x 100 = 40%
- Interval 5: (1/10) x 100 = 10%
So the corresponding relative percentages are 20%, 10%, 20%, 40%, and 10%. The option that matches these values is C.
