Question

this table shows the favorite pets of 20 students. what is the relative frequency of students who chose \cat\?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for relative frequency

Relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency of the category}}{\text{Total frequency}}$

Step2: Substitute the values

Here, frequency of "Cat" is 5 and total frequency is 20. So relative frequency = $\frac{5}{20}$

Step3: Convert to percentage

$\frac{5}{20}=0.25$, and $0.25\times100\% = 25\%$

Answer:

25%
