To answer this question, we need to understand the concept of frequency distributions. A frequency distribution is a table that summarizes data by dividing it into mutually exclusive classes and showing the number of occurrences in each class.
To form a relative frequency distribution, we form a ratio between each frequency and the total number of scores in the set. This ratio represents the proportion or percentage of data that falls into each class. The relative frequencies add up to 1 or 100%.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: relative frequency distribution.
