b. Calculate the relative frequencies and percentages for all categories.

Relative Frequency and Percentage Distribution of Most Interesting

and Entertaining Social Media Application

Most Interesting and Relative Frequency Percentage

Entertaining
Tiktok (T) 6/30 = 0.2 0.2 (100) = 20
Facebook (F) 8/30 = 0.3 0.3 (100) = 30
Instagram (I) 4/30 = 0.1 0.1 (100) = 10
Netflix (N) 4/30 = 0.1 0.1 (100) = 10
Messenger (M) 8/30 = 0.2 0.3 (100) = 30

Sum = 1 Sum = 100

c. What percentage of these youths named Facebook or Messenger as the most

interesting and entertaining?
Facebook and Messenger are the both youths got 30 percentage, equally of 60 percentage as the most
interesting and entertaining.
c. Draw a bar graph for the relative frequency distribution.

Computer Monitors Class Boundaries Relative Frequency Percentage

21-23 20.5 to less than 23.5 7/30 = 0.233 0.233 (100) = 23.3
24-26 23.5 to less than 26.5 4/30 = 0.133 0.133 (100) = 13.3
27-29 26.5 to less than 29.5 9/30 = 0.300 0.300 (100) = 30.0
30-32 29.5 to less than 32.5 4/30 = 0.133 0.133 (100) = 13.3
33-35 32.5 to less than 35.5 6/30 = 0.200 0.200 (100) = 20.0

Sum = 0.999 Sum = 99.9

c. Construct a histogram and a polygon for the percentage distribution.
