Answer :

Answer:

(a)  [tex]\frac{620}{3195}[/tex]

(b) [tex]\frac{645}{3195}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative frequency of an event = Event Frequency/Total Frequency

In this case the event is the number of responses for each reason and the total frequency is the sum of all responses.

Total Responses = 583 + 620 + 187 + 163 + 558 + 645 + 439 = 3195

(a) What is the relative frequency for the reason "study hard"?
= Number of responses for "study hard" / 3195

= 620/3195

==> [tex]\frac{620}{3195}[/tex]   Answer to (a)

(b) What is the relative frequency for the reason "have a goal in mind"?

= Number of responses for the reason "have a goal in mind"/3195

= 645/3195

==> [tex]\frac{645}{3195}[/tex]   Answer to (b)

I think it is OK to leave it as it is without reducing the fraction any further
