a
Relative frequency must be expressed as a percent.
b
The ratio that describes how many times a specific event occurs divided by the total number of events is called the data ratio.
c
Frequency is the amount of times that a specific event has occurred.
d
A two-way table is a way to describe frequencies for two variables. The rows and columns in the table must display the same categories.
State whether the data described below are discrete or continuous, and explain why.
