Short Answer

Expert verified

The relative frequency distribution corresponding to the accompanying frequency distribution for McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times are as,

Time (sec)	Relative frequency (%)
60-119	14
120-179	44
180-239	28
240-299	4
300-359	10

Step by step solution

Given information

Refer to Exercise 1 for the frequency distribution of McDonald鈥檚 dinner service times.

Time (sec)	Frequency
60-119	7
120-179	22
180-239	14
240-299	2
300-359	5
N	50

Definition of relative frequency

A frequency distribution that represents counts of observations in different intervals or categories.

Thus, a frequency is a count against a category, represented by .

Relative frequency distribution is a summarization of categories and the relative frequencies.

Relative frequency is the ratio of the frequency of a particular event in a statistical experiment to the total frequency, which is expressed in percentage.

Mathematically,

$R f_{i} = \frac{f_{i}}{鈭� f_{i}} = \frac{f_{i}}{N}$

Calculate the relative frequency distribution

The table shows relative frequency of each class,

Time (sec)	Frequency	Intermediate calculation of relative frequency	Relative frequency (%)
60-119	7	$\frac{7}{50} 脳 100$	14
120-179	22	$\frac{22}{50} 脳 100$	44
180-239	14	$\frac{14}{50} 脳 100$	28
240-299	2	$\frac{2}{50} 脳 100$	4
300-359	5	$\frac{5}{50} 脳 100$	10

Thus, the relative frequencies obtained are shown above.
