Given the frequency table on the relationship between red hair and green eyes.
Green Eyes Eye Color other than Green Total
Red Hair 18 29 47

Hair Color
other than 114 650 764
Red

Total 132 679 811

The relative frequency table is obtained from a frequency table by dividing each entry of the requency table by the overall total of the frequency table.

The relative frequency table of the frequency table above is given below.
Green Eyes Other Eye Color Total
Red Hair 18/811 = 0.02 = 2% 29/811 = 0.04 = 4% 47/811 = 0.06 = 6%

Other Hair
Color 114/811 = 0.14 = 14%|650/811 = 0.80 = 80%|764/811 = 0.94 = 94%

Total 132/811 = 0.16 = 16%|679/811 = 0.84 = 84%|811/811 = 1.0 = 100%

Given that x is the relative frequency of people that have other hair color and have green eyes, thus, the value of x is 14%.

Therefore, the value of x in the table = 14%.
