Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The percent frequency of a class is the proportion (or percentage) of observations in that class relative to the total number of observations, which is given by the relative frequency. To convert the relative frequency to a percentage, we need to multiply it by 100. Therefore, the percent frequency of a class is computed by multiplying the relative frequency by 100, which is choice C.
