Answer to Problem 1E

The relative frequency table is as follows:

Car type

Relative

frequency

Subcompact and Mini11.28%
Compact31.63%
Intermediate33.80%
Full21.93%
Unknown1.37%
Total100%

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The given information is the data of car types with the number of passenger car occupants killed in accidents in the year 2011.

Relative frequency:

The general formula for relative frequency is as follows:

RelativeFrequency = FrequencyTotal frequency×100

Substitute the type of Subcompact and Mini car and the number of passenger car occupants killed “1,351” as the frequency and the total number of passenger car occupants killed as “11,981” as the total frequency in relative frequency.

RelativeFrequencyfor Subcompact and Mini car=1,35111,981×100=0.112761×10011.28%

Similarly, relative frequencies for the remaining car types are obtained as follows:
