Answer 1

To find the relative frequency of people age 12-15 who had over 500 messages, we need to divide the number of people in that category by the total number of people in that age group:

Relative frequency = 78 / (24 + 47 + 78) = 78 / 149 = 0.5235

Converting this to a percentage, we get 52.4%.
