Expert Solution
Solution:

The relative frequency of an event is the number of times an event occurs, divided by the total number of trials.

That is, P(A) = Frequency of Event ANumber of Trials

The event A is that a new author is chosen who is unsuccessful.

The number of times this event occurs is 64.

The total number of trials are 400.
