2 tables. A 4-column table with 3 rows is titled Frequency Two-way table. Column 1 has entries boys, girls, total. Column 2 is labeled 4-year with entries 76, 83, 159. Column 3 is labeled 2-year with entries 34, 38, 72. Column 4 is labeled total with entries 110, 121, 231.A 4-column table with 2 rows titled Relative frequency table by rows.

To find the values for the relative frequency table by rows, we need to calculate the relative frequencies for each category based on the counts from the Frequency Two-way table.

Given the data in the Frequency Two-way table:

| | 4-year | 2-year | Total | |---------|--------|--------|-------| | Boys | 76 | 34 | 110 | | Girls | 83 | 38 | 121 | | Total | 159 | 72 | 231 |

The relative frequency for each category is calculated by dividing the frequency of that category by the total for that row.

For Boys:

  1. 4-year (a): \[ a = \frac{76}{110} \approx 0.6909 \text{ (or 69.09% when expressed as a percentage)} \]

  2. 2-year (b): \[ b = \frac{34}{110} \approx 0.3091 \text{ (or 30.91% when expressed as a percentage)} \]

For Girls:

  1. 4-year (c): \[ c = \frac{83}{121} \approx 0.6860 \text{ (or 68.60% when expressed as a percentage)} \]

  2. 2-year (d): \[ d = \frac{38}{121} \approx 0.3140 \text{ (or 31.40% when expressed as a percentage)} \]

Putting these values into the Relative Frequency by Rows table:

\[ \begin{align*} a & \approx 0.6909 \text{ (or 69.09%)} \ b & \approx 0.3091 \text{ (or 30.91%)} \ c & \approx 0.6860 \text{ (or 68.60%)} \ d & \approx 0.3140 \text{ (or 31.40%)} \end{align*} \]

Thus, the values for the Relative Frequency by Rows table are approximately:

  • a = 0.6909
  • b = 0.3091
  • c = 0.6860
  • d = 0.3140
