1. First of all, count the number of times that each piece of data is repeated. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII Real Madrid IIII II Espanyol III Total number of events

Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII Real Madrid IIII II Espanyol

Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII Real Madrid IIII II Espanyol III Total number of events

This is the absolute frequency. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII

This is the absolute frequency. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 Real Madrid IIII 7 Espanyol III 3 Total number of events

2. Next, count the total number of events. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative

2. Next, count the total number of events. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 Real Madrid IIII II 7 Espanyol III 3 Total number of events

Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 Real Madrid IIII II

Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 Real Madrid IIII II 7 Espanyol III 3 Total number of events 25

3. Now, write a fraction for each piece of data. Write the absolute frequency

3. Now, write a fraction for each piece of data. Write the absolute frequency as the numerator and the total number of events as the denominator.

The fraction is the relative frequency. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça

The fraction is the relative frequency. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 15 25 Real Madrid IIII II 7 7 25 Espanyol III 3 3 25 Total number of events 25

4. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator. Use a calculator. Football Team Tally

4. Then, divide the numerator by the denominator. Use a calculator. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 15 25 IIII II 7 7 25 3 3 25 Real Madrid Espanyol Total number of events III 25 15: 25=

Round the result up or down to the nearest hundredth. Football Team Tally marks

Round the result up or down to the nearest hundredth. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 15 25 IIII II 7 7 25 3 3 25 Real Madrid Espanyol Total number of events III 25 15: 25=0, 60

The result of the fraction is also the relative frequency. Football Team Tally marks

The result of the fraction is also the relative frequency. Football Team Tally marks Absolute Frequency Relative Frequency Barça IIII 15 15 25 =0, 60 Real Madrid IIII II 7 7 25 =0, 28 3 3 25 =0, 12 Espanyol Total number of events III 25

5. What happens if you add up all the relative frequencies? 0, 60 +

5. What happens if you add up all the relative frequencies? 0, 60 + 0, 28 + 0, 12 = 1 Why is it 1? Because the sum of all the relative frequencies is the unit.

6. Look at these additions. Can you see any differences? 0, 60 0, 28

6. Look at these additions. Can you see any differences? 0, 60 0, 28 + 0, 12 1, 00 0. 60 0. 28 + 0. 12 1. 00 The only difference is the use of different symbols for the decimals: the comma and the point.
