Key Formulas & Definitions

The relative frequency ($f_i$) for a given measured value is the ratio of its absolute frequency ($h_i$) to the total number of samples ($n$): $f_i = \frac{h_i}{n}$ A fundamental property of relative frequencies is that their sum across all distinct values must equal 1: $\sum_{i=1}^{k} f_i = 1$

The arithmetic mean ($\bar{x}$) of a data set is calculated by summing all individual sample values ($x_i$) and dividing by the total number of samples ($n$): $\bar{x} = \frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} x_i$

Key Properties from the Example

1. Data Set Size: The total number of samples, $n$, is the sum of all absolute frequencies.
2. Sum of Frequencies: As shown in the frequency table, $h_1 + h_2 + h_3 = 2 + 4 + 3 = 9$, which equals the total sample count from the raw data.
3. Sum of Relative Frequencies: The calculated relative frequencies sum to $0.22 + 0.44 + 0.33 \approx 1$.
