Use the table to answer the question.
Dog | Frequency | Relative Frequency
Caesar | 9
Fido | 4
Jock | 7
Borzoi | 5
Theresa makes this relative frequency table to show the votes from the Cutest Dog competition. Which dog received 16% of the votes?
A)Borzoi
B)Fido
C)Jock
D)Caesar
A) Borzoi
To calculate the percentage of votes for each dog, we need to divide the frequency of each dog by the total number of votes and then multiply by 100 to get a percentage.
For Borzoi:
5 / (9 + 4 + 7 + 5) = 5/25 = 0.2
0.2 * 100 = 20%
Since Borzoi received 20% of the votes, none of the dogs received 16% of the votes.
