The relative frequency (RF) can be calculated as follows:


RF=\frac{F}{\sum ^{}_{}F}

where RF is the relative frequency, F is the value of the frequency, and ∑F represents the sum of all frequencies.

Using a spreadsheet, we can get the following table:

Based on this table, we can see that ∑F = 40. Thus, we have to divide each frequency by 40 to get the relative frequency. As an example, using the first, second, and third row:


RF_1=(1)/(40)=0.025
RF_2=(15)/(40)=0.375
RF_3=(13)/(40)=0.325
