Transcript text: Question 8
Provide an appropriate response.
The scores on a recent statistics test are given in the frequency distribution below. Construct the corresponding relative frequency distribution. Round relative frequencies to the nearest hundredth of a percent if necessary.
\begin{tabular}{c|c}
Scores & Frequency \\
\hline $0-60$ & 2 \\
$61-70$ & 8 \\
$71-80$ & 9 \\
$81-90$ & 6 \\
$91-100$ & 5
\end{tabular}
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate Total Frequency
Add up all the frequencies to find the total number of scores.
Total frequency = \(2 + 8 + 9 + 6 + 5\).
Step 2: Compute Relative Frequencies
For each score range, divide the frequency by the total frequency to find the relative frequency.
Relative frequency for 0-60 = \(\frac{2}{\text{Total frequency}}\).
Relative frequency for 61-70 = \(\frac{8}{\text{Total frequency}}\).
Relative frequency for 71-80 = \(\frac{9}{\text{Total frequency}}\).
Relative frequency for 81-90 = \(\frac{6}{\text{Total frequency}}\).
Relative frequency for 91-100 = \(\frac{5}{\text{Total frequency}}\).
Step 3: Convert to Percentage
Multiply each relative frequency by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
Round each percentage to the nearest hundredth of a percent if necessary.
Final Answer
The relative frequency distribution is as follows:
