Math Problem Statement

What is the relative frequency of scores in the ranges 75–82 and 91–106 based on a histogram showing final scores of participants in a golf course fundraiser?

Solution

To answer the questions about relative frequency, let’s analyze the histogram and the frequency of each interval:

  1. Determine Total Frequency: We need to sum up the frequency counts for each interval shown on the histogram:

    • 677467-74: 4
    • 758275-82: 5
    • 839083-90: 7
    • 919891-98: 3
    • 9910699-106: 2

    Total frequency = 4+5+7+3+2=214 + 5 + 7 + 3 + 2 = 21

  2. Relative Frequency Calculations:

    • Part (a): Relative frequency for scores 758275-82: Relative frequency=Frequency of 7582Total frequency=5210.238\text{Relative frequency} = \frac{\text{Frequency of } 75-82}{\text{Total frequency}} = \frac{5}{21} \approx 0.238

    • Part (b): Relative frequency for scores 9110691-106: Since 919891-98 has a frequency of 3 and 9910699-106 has a frequency of 2, we combine these for the range 9110691-106. Relative frequency=Frequency of 9198+Frequency of 99106Total frequency=3+221=5210.238\text{Relative frequency} = \frac{\text{Frequency of } 91-98 + \text{Frequency of } 99-106}{\text{Total frequency}} = \frac{3 + 2}{21} = \frac{5}{21} \approx 0.238

Answers:

  • (a): The relative frequency of scores 758275-82 is approximately 0.238.
  • (b): The relative frequency of scores 9110691-106 is approximately 0.238.
