Relative frequency is a measure of how often a particular event occurs relative to the total number of opportunities for the event to occur. To calculate relative frequency, you would divide the frequency of the event occurring by the total number of observations or trials.
For example, if you have a data set of 100 observations and the event of interest occurs 20 times, the relative frequency of that event would be 20/100 = 0.2 or 20%.
A quick check to assess understanding of relative frequency could include providing a data set and asking students to calculate the relative frequency of a specific event within that data set. Students could then interpret the relative frequency in terms of how often the event occurs compared to the total number of observations.
