what does this even mean?!
Let's say you go to the supermarket and observe 100 cars parked in the lot.
35 of those cars are white
10 of them are green
20 are red
25 are black
10 are metallic.
You could use those values to create a FREQUENCY distribution of colors.
To make the RELATIVE FREQUENCY DISTRIBUTION, you divide the number of cars in any one class (say, red) by the total number of cars.
The sum of all of the relative frequencies is always 1.
If you find this helpful, please award Best Answer. You get points too!
The value of each section of a relative frequency distribution is the FRACTION of all the frequencies that occur within this range.
So consider all possible frequencies. And divide the values into three piles.
One pile has 10 % of all of them.
One pile has 60 % of all of them.
So what is in the other pile?
They add to 100% or 1.
No matter how many intervals you divide the frequencies into the total of the values must come to 100% of everything or 1.
Which means that showing a frequency distribution as a line graph is a mathematical abstraction.
The actual relative frequency must be found in a certain domain ( width) of that graph.
one
In essence each relative frequency is a percentage of one. So when you add them all up you get one.
