Solution Steps

To solve the given questions, we will follow these steps:

a-1. To find the number of rookies who received a rating of 4 or better, we will sum the frequencies of ratings 4 and 5.

a-2. To find the number of rookies who received a rating of 2 or worse, we will sum the frequencies of ratings 1 and 2.

b-1. To construct the relative frequency distribution, we will divide the frequency of each rating by the total number of rookies and round the result to two decimal places.

Step 1: Calculate the Total Number of Rookies

The total number of rookies is calculated by summing the frequencies of all ratings: \[ \text{Total rookies} = 4 + 16 + 14 + 18 + 4 = 56 \]

Step 2: Calculate the Number of Rookies with a Rating of 4 or Better

To find the number of rookies with a rating of 4 or better, sum the frequencies of ratings 4 and 5: \[ \text{Rookies with rating 4 or better} = 18 + 4 = 22 \]

Step 3: Calculate the Number of Rookies with a Rating of 2 or Worse

To find the number of rookies with a rating of 2 or worse, sum the frequencies of ratings 1 and 2: \[ \text{Rookies with rating 2 or worse} = 4 + 16 = 20 \]

Step 4: Construct the Relative Frequency Distribution

The relative frequency for each rating is calculated by dividing the frequency of each rating by the total number of rookies and rounding to four significant digits: \[ \text{Relative frequency of rating 1} = \frac{4}{56} \approx 0.0714 \] \[ \text{Relative frequency of rating 2} = \frac{16}{56} \approx 0.2857 \] \[ \text{Relative frequency of rating 3} = \frac{14}{56} \approx 0.2500 \] \[ \text{Relative frequency of rating 4} = \frac{18}{56} \approx 0.3214 \] \[ \text{Relative frequency of rating 5} = \frac{4}{56} \approx 0.0714 \]

Final Answer

\(\boxed{22}\)
