Question

Frequency is a way to measure how often a particular event occurs while relative frequency is a way to measure how often a particular event occurs against total occurences.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Frequency is a way to measure how often a particular event occurs.

For example when we toss a coin, the probability of getting a head is $50\%$ or $\frac{1}{2}$, this means that out of $100$ trials performed $50$ times head should appear. The frequency of getting a head is $50$ out of $100$.


Relative frequency is a way to measure how often a particular event occurs against total occurences.

For example, if a die is rolled $30$ times and it shows the number $4$, $10$ times, then the relative frequency of the number $4$ is $\frac{10}{30}$ or $\frac{1}{3}$.


Therefore, option (a.) is the correct answer.
