Math Problem Statement
This list of 16 random numbers has been sorted:
21 21 21 24 25 30 35 38 41 41 42 43 47 47 53 54
Fill in this table with the frequencies as whole numbers and the relative frequencies as decimals with 4 decimal places for the relative frequencies. (This problem does not accept fractions.) Remember: relative frequencies are between 0.0 and 1.0
Class Frequency Rel.Freq 20-29 5 Correct 0.3125 Correct 30-39 2 Incorrect 0.1250 Incorrect 40-49 7 Incorrect 0.4375 Incorrect 50-59 2 Correct 0.1250 Correct
Solution
Let's go through the problem step by step and ensure all frequencies and relative frequencies are correct.
Data Set:
- 21, 21, 21, 24, 25, 30, 35, 38, 41, 41, 42, 43, 47, 47, 53, 54
Step 1: Frequency Count for Each Class
-
Class 20-29: The numbers in this class are 21, 21, 21, 24, 25.
- Frequency: 5 (already correct)
-
Class 30-39: The numbers in this class are 30, 35, 38.
- Frequency: 3 (the previous entry of 2 is incorrect)
-
Class 40-49: The numbers in this class are 41, 41, 42, 43, 47, 47.
- Frequency: 6 (the previous entry of 7 is incorrect)
-
Class 50-59: The numbers in this class are 53, 54.
- Frequency: 2 (already correct)
Step 2: Total Frequency
Sum of frequencies:
Step 3: Calculating Relative Frequencies
To find the relative frequency, divide each class's frequency by the total frequency (16) and round to four decimal places.
-
Class 20-29:
(correct) -
Class 30-39:
(previous answer of 0.1250 was incorrect) -
Class 40-49:
(previous answer of 0.4375 was incorrect) -
Class 50-59:
(correct)
Final Table:
Class | Frequency | Rel. Freq |
---|---|---|
20-29 | 5 | 0.3125 |
30-39 | 3 | 0.1875 |
40-49 | 6 | 0.3750 |
50-59 | 2 | 0.1250 |

Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How do you calculate cumulative frequency?
- What is the sum of all relative frequencies in this table?
- What is the mode of the original data set?
- How would the frequency distribution change if the classes were in intervals of 10?
- How would you find the median of the data set?
Tip: Relative frequencies are a great way to compare data distributions of different sizes, as they normalize the frequencies into proportions.
