Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total frequency

$151 + 529+179 + 588+575+503+476=3001$

Step2: Calculate relative frequency for "study hard"

Relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency of "study hard"}}{\text{Total frequency}}=\frac{529}{3001}\approx 0.1763$

Step3: Calculate relative frequency for "have a goal in mind"

Relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency of "have a goal in mind"}}{\text{Total frequency}}=\frac{503}{3001}\approx 0.1676$

Answer:

(a) $0.1763$
(b) $0.1676$
