1. What is the relative frequency of wins among the 25 games? Give your answer to two decimal places.

Answer 1

0.48 or 48%

Explanation:

The relative frequency of wins for the basketball team in question is given by the number of wins over the course of the 25 games, divided by the total number of games.

Observing the given data, 12 'Ws' can be counted, which means that the relative frequency of wins is:

`F_W=(12)/(25)\\F_W=0.48`

The relative frequency of wins is 0.48 or 48%.
