Question

Consider the following frequency distribution table:

Which of the following observations has a frequency greater than one-fourth of the total frequency?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

The correct option is C C

Total frequency = 4 + 2 + 6 + 5 + 3 = 20

One-fourth of total frequency = $\frac{\left(1\right)\left(20\right)}{4}=5$

The only observation with a frequency greater than 5 is C whose frequency is 6.
