Organizing Data

Relative frequency and percentage

Relative frequency and percentage

  • The relative frequency of a value = its frequency ÷ the total of all frequencies.
  • To find the percentage, multiply the relative frequency by 100.
  • For example, if there are 12 students and 4 of them got the same score, the relative frequency is 4 ÷ 12 = 1/3, and the percentage is 1/3 × 100 ≈ 33.3%.
  • The total of the frequencies must equal the total number of data values. This is the most important check on a frequency table.
