Question

Carol opened 20 different bags of the same kind of candy and recorded the colors and their frequencies, as shown in the table.

Answer 1

It is 14% as you add up all of the numbers and divide 10 by that number and finally multiply by 100 for a percent

Answer 2

Answer:

A-14%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a table as

Color                Red   Blue   Green   Purple

Frequency        10      16      28          18

Relative frequency is calculated as

           $\dfrac{frequency}{sum of frequencies}\times 100$

Hence, relative frequency for red=

      $\dfrac{10}{10+16+28+18}\times 100$

=     $\dfrac{10}{72}\times 100$

=   13.88%

≈  14%

Hence, the correct option is:

A- 14%
