number of impairments: 0    1    2    3    4    5    6

frequency:                  100 43   36   17  24  9   11

a. Determine the relative frequencies that correspond to the givin frequencies.

b. what proportion of these patients had at most two impairments?

c. use the result of part (b) to determine what proportion of patients had more than two impairments.

First find the total number involved by adding up all the frequencies:  T = 100+43+36+17+24+9+11

 

a. Divide each frequency by the total T

Nbr of impairments   0           1       2       3       4     5      6

relative frequencies   100/T  43/T  36/T  17/T  24/T  9/T  11/T

 

b.  The proportion who had at most 2 impairments = proportion who had exactly 0 impairments + proportion who had exactly 1 impairment + proportion who had exactly 2 impairments = 100/T + 43/T + 36/T

 

c. Proportion who had more than 2 impairments = 1 - proportion who had at most 2 impairments

or 1 - (100/T + 43/T + 36/T)

 

You should now be able to fill in the actual numbers.
