Solution Steps

To complete the grouped relative frequency distribution, we need to count how many temperatures fall into each specified range (class). Then, we calculate the relative frequency by dividing the count for each class by the total number of temperatures. Finally, we round the relative frequencies to the nearest hundredth.

Step 1: Define Class Intervals

The class intervals are defined as follows:

  • \(93 \leq T < 97\)
  • \(97 \leq T < 101\)
  • \(101 \leq T < 105\)
  • \(105 \leq T < 109\)
  • \(109 \leq T < 113\)
Step 2: Count Temperatures in Each Interval

Count the number of temperatures in each class interval:

  • \(93 \leq T < 97\): 3 temperatures (94, 95, 93)
  • \(97 \leq T < 101\): 3 temperatures (99, 97, 100)
  • \(101 \leq T < 105\): 5 temperatures (103, 104, 102, 101, 102)
  • \(105 \leq T < 109\): 1 temperature (108)
  • \(109 \leq T < 113\): 1 temperature (109)
Step 3: Calculate Relative Frequencies

Calculate the relative frequency for each class interval by dividing the count by the total number of temperatures, 13:

  • \(93 \leq T < 97\): \(\frac{3}{13} \approx 0.23\)
  • \(97 \leq T < 101\): \(\frac{3}{13} \approx 0.23\)
  • \(101 \leq T < 105\): \(\frac{5}{13} \approx 0.38\)
  • \(105 \leq T < 109\): \(\frac{1}{13} \approx 0.08\)
  • \(109 \leq T < 113\): \(\frac{1}{13} \approx 0.08\)

Final Answer

The relative frequencies for each class interval are:

  • \(93 \leq T < 97\): \(\boxed{0.23}\)
  • \(97 \leq T < 101\): \(\boxed{0.23}\)
  • \(101 \leq T < 105\): \(\boxed{0.38}\)
  • \(105 \leq T < 109\): \(\boxed{0.08}\)
  • \(109 \leq T < 113\): \(\boxed{0.08}\)
