Expert Solution
Step 1

Frequency distribution:

The number of times each value of X repeats is the frequency of that particular event. Frequencies will be calculated by using the tally mark.

Discrete random variable:

If the variable X takes finite or countable values, then the variable X is said to be discrete.

Conditions to construct a discrete frequency distribution:

  • The number times a specified value of X repeats is the frequency of that particular value of
  • The sum of frequencies of all the values of X must be equal to total number of observations.
  • The probabilities of all the values of the variable X must lie between 0 and 1.

Relative frequency:

Relative frequency distribution is obtained by dividing the respective frequencies of each class by the total number of observations in the study.

The general formula to obtain relative frequency is given below:

Relative frequency = (frequency)/(total frequency).

Using the formula, the relative frequencies for certain number of class has to obtained. Then the class with greatest relative frequency and least relative frequency will identified from the obtained relative frequencies.

The class with the greatest, and the class with the least, relative frequency is obtained using the formula Relative frequency = (frequency)/(total frequency).
