Question

The response to a question has three alternatives: A, B, and C. A sample of 120 responses provides 60 A, 12 B, and 48 C. Show the frequency and relative frequency distributions.

Answer 1

Answer:

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

the frequencies of there alternatives are;

Frequency A = 60

Frequency B = 12

Frequency C = 48

Total = 60 + 12 + 48 = 120

Now to determine our relative frequency, we divide each frequency by the total sum of the given frequencies;

Relative Frequency A = Frequency A / total = 60 / 120 = 0.5

Relative Frequency B = Frequency B / total = 12 / 120 = 0.1

Relative Frequency C = Frequency C / total = 48 / 120 = 0.4

therefore;

CLASS     FREQUENCIES     RELATIVE FREQUENCIES

A                        60                                 0.5

B                        12                                  0.1

C                        48                                 0.4

TOTAL              120                                  1
