Question

Recently a study of fans attending the New York Mets baseball games was conducted. Assume one of the variables for which data were collected from the 467 fans surveyed was the miles from home to the stadium. The data for this variable were formulated into 5 classes and a frequency distribution was developed. The first class contained 252 fans and was for those traveling between 0 and 5 miles. Based on this information what was the relative frequency for the first class? Enter your answer to three decimals (i.e. 0.123)

Explanation / Answer

Total fans = 467

Number of fans contained in first class = 252

So, relative frequency for the first class = number of fans contained in first class / total fans

= 252 / 467

= 0.540 (ans)
