To find the relative frequency for the event "spin a 1", you will use the formula:

\[ \text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Frequency of the event}}{\text{Total number of trials}} \]

From the table you provided:

  • Frequency of spinning a 1 = 21
  • Total number of trials = 75

Now, plug in the values:

\[ \text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{21}{75} \]

Next, simplify the fraction:

\[ \text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{21 \div 3}{75 \div 3} = \frac{7}{25} \]

Therefore, the relative frequency for the event "spin a 1" is:

\[ \frac{7}{25} \]
