For a relative frequency distribution,relative frequency is computed as
A)the class width divided by the class interval.
B)the class midpoint divided by the class frequency.
C)the class frequency divided by the class interval.
D)the class frequency divided by the number of observations.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative frequency is defined as the proportion (or percentage) of observations that fall into each class. To compute it, we divide the class frequency (the number of observations in the class) by the total number of observations. Therefore, the correct option is D - the class frequency divided by the number of observations. The other options do not correctly capture the definition of relative frequency.
