Question

In a herd of 80 dairy cows, 16 have black-and-white coats, and 64 have solid black coats. What is the frequency of cows with black-and-white coats?

1) 16
2) 64

Answer 1

The frequency of cows with black-and-white coats in the herd is 20%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The frequency of cows with black-and-white coats in the herd can be calculated by dividing the number of cows with black-and-white coats by the total number of cows in the herd and multiplying by 100%.

The frequency of cows with black-and-white coats = (Number of cows with black-and-white coats / Total number of cows) * 100%

Therefore, the frequency of cows with black-and-white coats in the herd would be: (16 / 80) * 100% = 20%
