Question

Use the given qualitative data to construct the relative frequency distribution.

Answer 1

Answer:

Category                         Relative Frequency

male survivors                           17.3%

males who died                          63.7 %

Female survivors                        15.1 %

Females who died                       3.8%

Step-by-step explanation:

• The relative frequency is the proportion of the number of times the event occurs to the total number of trials.

Given : Total people on ship = 2274

Number of male ​survivors = 394

⇒ Relative Frequency of male ​survivors =$\dfrac{394}{2274}$

In percent , $\dfrac{394}{2274}\times100\approx17.3\%$

Number of males who​ died =1449

⇒ Relative Frequency of male ​who​ died =$\dfrac{1449}{2274}$

In percent , $\dfrac{1449}{2274}\times100\approx63.7\%$

Number of female​ survivors =344

⇒ Relative Frequency of female​ survivors =$\dfrac{344}{2274}$

In percent , $\dfrac{344}{2274}\times100\approx15.1\%$

Number of females who died = 87

⇒ Relative Frequency of females who died =$\dfrac{87}{2274}$

In percent , $\dfrac{87}{2274}\times100\approx3.8\%$

Hence, the complete table would be :

Category                         Relative Frequency

male survivors                           17.3%

males who died                          63.7 %

Female survivors                        15.1 %

Females who died                       3.8%
