Math Problem Statement

Among the computer science majors in the sample, find the relative frequency of those who happen to be male.

Solution

To find the relative frequency of male computer science majors:

  1. Identify the total number of students in computer science:

    • Female: 25
    • Male: 36
    • Total = 25+36=6125 + 36 = 61
  2. Find the number of males in computer science:

    • This is 3636.
  3. Calculate the relative frequency:

    • Relative Frequency=Number of MalesTotal Number in Computer Science\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of Males}}{\text{Total Number in Computer Science}}
    • Relative Frequency=36610.59\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{36}{61} \approx 0.59

So, the relative frequency of male computer science majors is 0.59 (rounded to two decimal places).
