Relative Frequency/Examples/Arbitrary Example 1

Example of Relative Frequency

Consider the sample:

$2, 5, 3, 3, 3, 5, 3, 6, 2, 3, 9, 5$

There are $12$ observations in this sample.

The relative frequency of the observation $3$ is $\dfrac 5 {12}$.

The relative frequency of the observation $9$ is $\dfrac 1 {12}$.
