I have a chart with Junior seniors total Junior driver 26 Junior non-driver 38 total 64 senior drivers 51 senior non drivers for total 55 using data from the table what is the marginal relative frequency for drivers around your answer to the nearest whole

1 answer

To calculate the marginal relative frequency for drivers from the data you provided, we need to first find the total number of drivers and then the total number of individuals in the dataset.

From the data you shared, we can organize it as follows:

  • Junior Drivers: 26

  • Junior Non-Drivers: 38

  • Total Junior: 64 (which is the sum of Junior Drivers and Junior Non-Drivers, and this matches)

  • Senior Drivers: 51

  • Senior Non-Drivers: (Total Seniors - Senior Drivers = 55 - 51 = 4)

Now, let’s summarize the totals:

  • Total Drivers (Junior + Senior) = 26 + 51 = 77
  • Total Individuals (Junior + Senior) = 64 + 55 = 119

Next, to find the marginal relative frequency for drivers:

\[ \text{Marginal Relative Frequency for Drivers} = \frac{\text{Total Drivers}}{\text{Total Individuals}} = \frac{77}{119} \]

Calculating that:

\[ \frac{77}{119} \approx 0.6462 \]

Now rounding to the nearest whole number gives us approximately:

65%

So, the marginal relative frequency for drivers is 65%.
