The relative frequency of a class is computed by
A)dividing the cumulative frequency of the class by n
B)dividing n by cumulative frequency of the class
C)dividing the frequency of the class by n
D)dividing the frequency of the class by the number of classes

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relative frequency of a class is the frequency of the class divided by the total number of observations (n). Therefore, dividing the frequency of the class by n will give us the relative frequency. Option A is incorrect because we need to divide the frequency by n, not the cumulative frequency. Option B is incorrect because we cannot divide n by the cumulative frequency. Option D is incorrect because we need to divide the frequency by n, not the number of classes.
