Landin · Answer 1

No the relative frequencies are not the same

Cade · Answer 2

No! If this☝ is the chart that is being represented, you simply need to look for where D matches up to F, and where C matches up to S. As you can see, the values are not the same. (Additional info: he wants to interview 1000 people, and already asked ten classmates. Just multiply each value by 100 to see what the predicted amounts will be)

I hope this was correct ... good luck!
