Question

The two-way frequency table below shows data on behavior of students and the use of positive phone calls home as an incentive for behavior for a group of students at Lion's Lane Elementary School.
Complete the following two-way table of column relative frequencies.
(If necessary, round your answers to the nearest hundredth.)

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

In statistics, the relative frequency is the percentage/ proportion of times a determined event has occurred in a given experiment.

In this exercise you have to calculate the relative frequencies of the observed student's behavior, given that they received positive phone calls as an incentive and the observed student's behavior, given that they didn't receive positive phone calls as an incentive.

If "x" represent the number of observations for the category (Desirable behavior and Undesirable behavior) of interest and "n" the total number of observations in each row (Phone call and No phone call), you can calculate the relative frequencies as: f(x)= x/n

For the students that received the phone call:

n= 19 + 9= 28

The student showed desirable behavior: f(x)= 19 / 28= 0.678= 0.68

The student showed undesirable behavior: f(x)= 9 / 28= 0.678= 0.32

For the students that didn't receive the phone call:

n= 8 + 6= 14

The student showed desirable behavior: f(x)= 8 / 14= 0.678= 0.57

The student showed undesirable behavior: f(x)= 6 / 14= 0.678= 0.428= 0.43

I hope this helps!
