Question

Comelius conducts an experiment where he selects a letter tile from the tiles shown, records the letter, then replaces it in the bag The table shows the results after 50 trialsA 1 0E 18T 18U 4What is the relative frequency that a letter was T? Express your answer as a fraction in simplest form

Answer 1

Relative frequency of T = 9/25

Explanation:

Total number of T's = 18

Total number of A's = 10

Total number of E's = 18

Total number of U's = 4

Total = 18 + 10 + 18 + 4 = 50

Relative frequancy = number of time the letter occurred/total letters

Relative frequency = 18/50

To the simplest form:

Relative frequency of T = 9/25
