Question

among a group of 341 students, only 41 of the students are enrolled in more than 9 credit hours for the summer. express this information as a relative frequency value, to three places past the decimal.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall relative frequency formula

Relative frequency is calculated as the number of favorable outcomes (students with more than 9 credit hours) divided by the total number of outcomes (total students). The formula is \( \text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of students with >9 credit hours}}{\text{Total number of students}} \).

Step2: Substitute the values

We know the number of students with more than 9 credit hours is 41, and the total number of students is 341. So we calculate \( \frac{41}{341} \).

Step3: Perform the division

Using a calculator, \( \frac{41}{341} \approx 0.1202346\). Rounding to three decimal places, we look at the fourth decimal place (2), which is less than 5, so we round down.

Answer:

0.120
