Question

the following two - way table represents data from a survey asking students whether they have visited alaska, hawaii, or both. what is the relative frequency for students who have been to alaska? what is the relative frequency for students who have been to hawaii but not alaska? what is the relative frequency for students who have been to alaska or hawaii? alaska not alaska total hawaii 6 15 21 not hawaii 8 21 29 total 14 36 50

Explanation:

Step1: Recall relative - frequency formula

Relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Number of favorable outcomes}}{\text{Total number of outcomes}}$

Step2: Find number of students who have been to Alaska

The number of students who have been to Alaska is the total in the "Alaska" column, which is 14.

Step3: Find total number of students

The total number of students surveyed is 50 (the bottom - right cell of the two - way table).

Step4: Calculate relative frequency

Relative frequency of students who have been to Alaska = $\frac{14}{50}$

Answer:

$\frac{14}{50}$
