Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The relative frequency of students with low interest can be calculated by dividing the number of students with low interest by the total number of students surveyed and then multiplying by 100 to get a percentage.

Relative frequency of low interest = (Number of students with low interest / Total number of students surveyed) x 100 
Relative frequency of low interest = (20/100) x 100 
Relative frequency of low interest = 20%

Therefore, the answer is (C) 20%.
