Definition

A relative frequency table displays the proportion of total occurrences for each category of data.

Description

Relative frequency tables are important in statistics as they summarize data in a way that makes it easy to analyze proportions and patterns within datasets. These tables allow for quick comparisons of different categories based on their frequency relative to the total.

They are often employed in survey results to convey the distribution of responses or occurrences of events such as preferences in a target demographic. Understanding how to create and interpret relative frequency tables is essential for students as they tackle statistical analysis in real-world situations.

This insight helps strengthen their analytical skills while encouraging critical thinking during data interpretation.
