Question

Distinguish between Absolute and relative frequencies.

✓

Answer

As frequencies shown in different B types of series discussed so far were absolute frequencies. These were shown in absolute numbers. Sometimes, it is important to know the relative importance of each class. Therefore, frequencies are shown in percentage of total observations. An example is given below:

Marks	Absolute Frequency	Relative Frequency (%)
0-10	4	20
10-20	7	35
20-30	4	20
30-40	3	15
40-50	2	10
Total	20	100
