Question

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

What is the correct value of the given frequency, rounded to the nearest percent?

The relative frequency for Red ___

A- 14%
B- 16%
C- 22%
D- 25%
E- 29%

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

A-14%

Explanation:

We are given a table as

Color Red Blue Green Purple

Frequency 10 16 28 18

Relative frequency is calculated as

`(frequency)/(sum of frequencies)* 100`

Hence, relative frequency for red=

`(10)/(10+16+28+18)* 100`

=
`(10)/(72)* 100`

= 13.88%

≈ 14%

Hence, the correct option is:

A- 14%
