Question

A data set has 5,500 observations. When the data are represented in a relative frequency distribution, the relative frequency of a given interval is 0.15. The frequency in this interval is equal to:_________

Answer 1

The appropriate solution is "825".

Explanation:

Given that,

Total observations,

= 5,500

Relative frequency,

= 0.15

As we know,

⇒
`Relative \ frequency=(Frequency \ of \ item)/(Total)`

or,

⇒
`Frequency=Relative \ frequency* Total`

By putting the values, we get

⇒
`=0.15* 5500`

⇒
`=825`
