ABSTRACT
The relative frequency with which any member of a set occurs is given by the ratio:
frequency of member total frequency of all members
For the set: {2, 3, 5, 4, 7, 5, 6, 2, 8}, the relative frequency of member 5 is 29 . Often, relative frequency is expressed as a percentage and the percentage relative frequency is: (relative frequency×100)%. Problem 1. Data are obtained on the topics given below. State whether they are discrete or continuous data. (a) The number of days on which rain falls in a
month for each month of the year. (b) The mileage travelled by each of a number of
salesmen. (c) The time that each of a batch of similar
