Two thousand six hundred frequent business travels were asked which midwestern city they prefer: Indianapolis, Saint Louis, Chicago, or Milwaukee. One hundred and third liked Indianapolis best, 455 liked Saint Louis, 1395 liked Chicago, and the remainder preferred Milwaukee. Develop a frequency table and relative frequency table to summarize this information

FREQUENCY Indianapolis : 113 Saint Louis : 455 Chicago : 1,395 Milwaukee : 637 Total = 2,600 RELATIVE FREQUENCY Indianapolis : 113 / 2,600 Saint Louis : 455 / 2,600 Chicago : 1,395 / 2,600 Milwaukee : 637 / 2,600

Two thousand six hundred frequent business travelers were asked which midwestern city they prefer: Indianapolis, Saint Louis, Chicago, or Milwaukee. One hundred and thirteen liked Indianapolis best, 455 liked St Louis, 1395 liked Chicago, and the remainder preferred Milwaukee. Develop a frequency table on a relative frequency table to summarize this information.

FREQUENCY Indianapolis : 113 Saint Louis : 455 Chicago : 1,395 Milwaukee : 637 Total = 2,600 RELATIVE FREQUENCY Indianapolis : 113 / 2,600 = 0.043 Saint Louis : 455 / 2,600 = 0.175 Chicago : 1,395 / 2,600 = 0.537 Milwaukee : 637 / 2,600 = 0.245
