The 0.2 value in this relative frequency table indicates the proportion or percentage of the total number of observations that fall within the class interval 50-59. In other words, 0.2 signifies that 20% of the observations or data points in the dataset fall within the range of 50-59.
To calculate the relative frequency, you need to divide the frequency of the class by the total number of observations and then multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.
For example, if the frequency of the class interval 50-59 is 10, and the total number of observations is 50, then you can calculate the relative frequency as follows:
Relative frequency = (Frequency of the class / Total number of observations) * 100
Relative frequency = (10 / 50) * 100
Relative frequency = 0.2 * 100
Relative frequency = 20%
Therefore, the relative frequency of the class interval 50-59 is 0.2 or 20%.
