Question

a sample of 387 people is selected. the people are classified according to place of residence (\urban\, \suburban\, or
ural\). they are also classified according to highest educational degree earned (
o college degree\, \two - year degree\, \four - year degree\, or \advanced degree\). the results are given in the contingency table below.
what is the relative frequency of people in the sample whose place of residence is suburban and whose highest degree is a four - year degree?
round your answer to two decimal places.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the frequency of the specific category

From the table, the number of people who are suburban and have a four - year degree is \(21\).

Step2: Find the total number of people

The total number of people in the sample is \(387\).

Step3: Calculate the relative frequency

The formula for relative frequency is \(Relative\ Frequency=\frac{Frequency\ of\ the\ category}{Total\ frequency}\). So, \(Relative\ Frequency = \frac{21}{387}\approx0.05\)

Answer:

\(0.05\)
