Question

Use the given qualitative data to construct the relative frequency distribution. The 2545 people aboard a ship that sank include 406 male​ survivors, 1651 males who​ died, 362 female​ survivors, and 126 females who died.Complete the relative frequency distribution below. Relative Frequency Category Male survivors % Males who died % Female survivors % Females who died % (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The data that we have is:

total people: 2545

male survivors: 406

male who died: 1651

total males: 406 + 1651 = 2057

female survivors: 362

female who died: 126

total females: 362 + 126 = 488.

We want to know:

for the percentages, we must calculate the quotient between the total numbers of the set, and the number in the particular category we are looking for.

% male survivors = (number of male survivors/total number of males)*100%.

                             = (406/2057)*100% = 19.73%

% male who died = (1651/2057)*100% = 80.2%

% female survivors = (362/488)*100% = 74.18%

% female who died = (126/488)*100% = 25.82%
