Calculate Relative Frequency In Excel: A Comprehensive Guide
In Excel, relative frequency is calculated as the ratio of the number of specific events to the total number of outcomes. To find it, select the data you want analyzed. Use the COUNTIF or COUNTIFS functions to count the specific events, and use the COUNT function to count all outcomes. The relative frequency is the result of dividing the COUNTIF or COUNTIFS value by the COUNT value. For instance, if there are 10 red marbles in a bag of 50 marbles, the relative frequency of red marbles is determined by dividing COUNTIF(range, “red”) by COUNT(range), resulting in 10/50 or 0.2.
