The overall results are shown in the table. Result Blue Red Yellow Orange Frequency 18 14 5 13 What is the relative frequency of Max selecting a blue ball? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

the ratio of the frequency at which he picks blue is 18:32 which simplifies to 9:16 but if you want a percentage its 36%

Answer 2

Answer: 36%

Explanation:

From the given frequency table, the number of times Max selected blue ball = 18

The total number of times Max selected balls = 50

Now, the relative frequency of Max selecting a blue ball is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Number of times Max selected blue ball}}{\text{Total number of times he selected ball}}\\\\=(18)/(50)=0.36`

In percent ,
`0.36*100=36\%`

Hence, the relative frequency of Max selecting a blue ball = 36%
