To interpret the data using marginal relative frequency, we need to compare the frequency of visits for each category (Pick up and Browse) relative to the total visits.
- Pick up on Weekday: 25 out of 99 total visits, which is approximately \( \frac{25}{99} \approx 25.3% \).
- Pick up on Weekend: 17 out of 99 total visits, which is approximately \( \frac{17}{99} \approx 17.2% \).
- Browse on Weekday: 12 out of 99 total visits, which is approximately \( \frac{12}{99} \approx 12.1% \).
- Browse on Weekend: 45 out of 99 total visits, which is approximately \( \frac{45}{99} \approx 45.5% \).
From these calculations, we can deduce the following insights:
- A higher percentage of people browse on the weekend (45.5%) compared to the weekday (12.1%).
- A total of 37 people visited the library for pick-up (25 on weekdays and 17 on weekends), which does not overwhelmingly dominate the visits.
Given the options provided, the most accurate interpretation based on the marginal relative frequency would be:
The weekend is the most popular time to visit.
This is because the majority of visits are made on weekends, specifically for browsing, while the pick-up service shows less popularity overall, particularly on weekends.
