In order to complete the relative frequency distribution, we need to solve for the unknown x. Recall the property of relative frequency distributions that for a sample space
+ P(Sn) =
= 1. In other words, the relative frequencies across the whole sample space sum to 1. Use this fact to write an equation for x and
‚ s}, we have P(S₁) + P(S₂) +
S = {S₁, S₂,
