To determine the relative frequency of a student selecting New York (NY), we first need to count the total number of responses and how many of those responses selected New York.
From the data provided:
- The responses are:
CA, HI, NY, CA, FL, HI, NY, CA, FL, AK, CA, NY, HI, FL, FL, NY, HI, CA, FL, HI
Now, let's count:
- Total responses = 20
- Count of NY = 4
The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of selections for New York by the total number of responses, then multiplying by 100 to convert it to a percentage.
\[
\text{Relative Frequency} = \left(\frac{\text{Count of NY}}{\text{Total Responses}}\right) \times 100 = \left(\frac{4}{20}\right) \times 100 = 20\%
\]
Therefore, the relative frequency of a student selecting New York (NY) is **20%**.
