Question

A group of 100 students was surveyed about their interest in a new international studies program. interest was measured in terms of high, medium, or low. in the study, 30 students responded high interest, 40 students responded medium interest, and 30 students responded low interest. what is the relative frequency of students with high interest?

Answer 1

Relative frequency is calculated as the ratio of the selected sample divided with the total number of samples.

For this case, the selected sample is students with high interest. Therefore the relative frequency is:

Relative Frequency = 30/100

Relative Frequency = 0.3
