1)The relative frequency of those who own a smartphone will be 45%.
2)A middle school student is more likely to own a smartphone than an elementary school student. Option C is correct.
What is the formula for calculating the joint relative frequency?
Assume you need to compute the joint relative frequency of a certain category inside a larger category.
Then there's the proportion of that specific category's frequency to the total frequency of that large category.
Given data;
The total number of persons polled:
⇒216 (26 + 84 + 72 + 34)
⇒216
The number of persons who own a smartphone is calculated as follows:
⇒26 + 72
⇒98
The relative frequency of those who own a smartphone is calculated as;
[tex]\rightarrow\frac{98}{216} \times 100 \\\\ \rightarrow45 \%[/tex]
Hence,the relative frequency of those who own a smartphone will be 45%
2)A middle school student is more likely to own a smartphone than an elementary school student. Because the total of the middle school is more than the elementary school.
Hence,option C is correct.
