Answer:
a) A student travelling to school on public transport: 15/52 or 0.231
b) A student walking to school: 16/52 or 0.308
c) A student not cycling to school: 43/52 or 0.827
Step-by-step explanation:
Total people = 52
Travel Method Frequency
Public Transport 12
Car 15
Cycle 9
Walk 16
Find the relative frequency of.
The formula used will be: [tex]Relative\:Frequency=\frac{Given\: Frequency}{Size\: of\: sample \:space}[/tex]
a) A student travelling to school on public transport:
Given Frequency: 12
Size of sample space: 52
Apply formula: [tex]Relative\:Frequency=\frac{Given\: Frequency}{Size\: of\: sample \:space}[/tex]
Fraction = 12/52
Decimal = 0.231
b) A student walking to school
Given Frequency: 16
Size of sample space. 52
Apply formula: [tex]Relative\:Frequency=\frac{Given\: Frequency}{Size\: of\: sample \:space}[/tex]
Fraction = 16/52
Decimal = 0.308
c) A student not cycling to school.
We will consider all students except those who cycle.
12+15+16 = 43
Given Frequency: 43
Size of sample space. 52
Apply formula: [tex]Relative\:Frequency=\frac{Given\: Frequency}{Size\: of\: sample \:space}[/tex]
Fraction = 43/52
Decimal = 0.827
