Question

a may 2011 gallup poll found that many americans believe in ghosts and other supernatural phenomena. the poll was based on telephone responses from randomly selected adults. the table shows the number of people who expressed belief in various phenomena. please finish the relative frequency table below, and please show your answers in decimals to 2 decimal places. \
\

phenomenon	frequency	relative frequency	\
--------------	-----------	--------------------	\
psychic healing	58	blank	\
esp	151	blank	\
ghosts	244	blank	\
astrology	151	blank	\
channeling	559	blank

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total frequency

First, we need to find the total number of responses. Sum up all the frequencies: \(58 + 151 + 244 + 151 + 559\).
\(58+151 = 209\); \(209+244 = 453\); \(453+151 = 604\); \(604+559 = 1163\). So total frequency \(N = 1163\).

Step2: Calculate relative frequency for Psychic Healing

Relative frequency is frequency divided by total frequency. For Psychic Healing, frequency \(f = 58\). So relative frequency \(=\frac{58}{1163}\approx0.05\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Step3: Calculate relative frequency for ESP

Frequency for ESP is \(151\). Relative frequency \(=\frac{151}{1163}\approx0.13\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Step4: Calculate relative frequency for Ghosts

Frequency for Ghosts is \(244\). Relative frequency \(=\frac{244}{1163}\approx0.21\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Step5: Calculate relative frequency for Astrology

Frequency for Astrology is \(151\). Relative frequency \(=\frac{151}{1163}\approx0.13\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Step6: Calculate relative frequency for Channeling

Frequency for Channeling is \(559\). Relative frequency \(=\frac{559}{1163}\approx0.48\) (rounded to two decimal places).

Answer:

• Psychic Healing: \(0.05\)
• ESP: \(0.13\)
• Ghosts: \(0.21\)
• Astrology: \(0.13\)
• Channeling: \(0.48\)
