From the question we are given the table below

From the table we are to find the relative frequency of the first class, 40 - 44

Relative frequency is defined as

$\operatorname{Re}lative\text{ frequency }=\frac{Subgroup\text{ frequency}}{Total\text{ frequency}}$

From the table

Subgroup frequency = 7

Total frequency = 50

Therefore, for class 40 - 44

$R\text{elative frequency }=(7)/(50)=0.14$

Therefore, the relative frequency of the first class, 40 - 44 is 14%
