<p>In math, frequency is how often a value appears in a dataset. Relative frequency is the ratio of how often an event occurs to the total number of observations. Relative frequency is an important concept and can be useful while working with probability, statistics, scientific experiments, and market research. Let us learn more about relative frequency in this article.</p>

<p>By using the formula, we can find the relative frequency. </p>
131
<p>\({\text {Relative frequency}} = {f \over n}\)</p>
131
<p>\({\text {Relative frequency}} = {f \over n}\)</p>
132
<p>f = 220</p>
132
<p>f = 220</p>
133
<p>n = 600 </p>
133
<p>n = 600 </p>
134
<p>So the relative frequency is calculated as: \({220 \over 600 }= 0.367\)</p>

<p>So the relative frequency is calculated as: \({220 \over 600 }= 0.367\)</p>
135
<p>Relative frequency \(= 0.367 = 36.7\%\)</p>
135
<p>Relative frequency \(= 0.367 = 36.7\%\)</p>
136
<p>Therefore, the relative frequency of students wearing a uniform is 0.367 or 36.7%. </p>

<h3>3.Can relative frequency exceed 1?</h3>
144
<p>No. The value of relative frequency can never exceed 1 or 100%. If the relative frequency is<a>greater than</a>1 or 100%, it means there is a calculation error. The sum of all relative frequencies should equal 1 or 100%. </p>
