Question

What is a relative frequency table and what is it used for?

Answer 1

A relative frequency table is a table that records counts of data in percentage form, aka relative frequency.
It is used when you are trying to compare categories within the table.

Explanation:

This is a relative frequency table.

Note that the values of the cells in the table are in percentages instead of actual frequencies. You find these values by putting the individual frequencies over the row total.

The advantage of relative frequency tables over frequency tables is that with percentages, you can compare categories.
