Question

a national survey asked people, \how often do you eat out for dinner, instead of at home?\ the frequencies were as follows. complete parts (a) through (d)

response	frequency
once or twice a week	510
a few times a month	373
very rarely	300
never	43

(a) conduct a relative frequency distribution of the data

response	relative frequency
once or twice a week	0.229
a few times a month	0.171
very rarely	0.137
never	0.019

(round to three decimal places as needed.)

(b) what percentage of respondents answered
ever\?

(round to one decimal place as needed.)

Explanation:

Part (b)

Step 1: Recall the relative frequency of "Never"

From part (a), the relative frequency of "Never" is \( 0.019 \) (after rounding to three decimal places).

Step 2: Convert relative frequency to percentage

To convert a relative frequency to a percentage, we multiply it by \( 100 \). So, we calculate \( 0.019\times100 \).

Answer:

\( 1.9\% \)
