Relative Frequency


Theresa makes this relative frequency table to show the votes from the Cutest Dog competition. Which dog received 16% of the votes?
A. Borzoi
B. Jock
C. Fido
D. Caesar

Answer 1

To determine which dog received 16% of the votes, we first need to calculate the total number of votes.

The total votes can be calculated by adding the frequency of votes for each dog:

\[
\text{Total Votes} = 9 + 4 + 7 + 5 = 25
\]

Next, we find out how many votes correspond to 16% of the total votes:

\[
\text{Votes for 16%} = 0.16 \times 25 = 4
\]

Now, we will compare this result with the frequency of votes for each dog:

- Dog Caesar: 9 votes
- Dog Fido: 4 votes
- Dog Jock: 5 votes
- Dog Borzoi: 7 votes

From this, we can see that Fido received 4 votes, which corresponds to 16% of the total votes.

Therefore, the answer is **C. Fido**.
