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 total frequency

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative frequency is the proportion of observations falling into a particular class, expressed as a fraction or percentage of the total number of observations. Therefore, the relative frequency is computed by dividing the class frequency by the total frequency of all classes in the distribution. Choice D is the only option that fits this definition.
