Of the 1755 qualified applicants, 931 were accepted, 298 were waitlisted, and 526 were turned away for lack of space. Find the relative frequency distribution of the decisions made, and write a sentence describing it.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
We have to find the relative frequency distribution of the decisions made. In order to do that, let's make a frequency distribution table:
\(\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text { Decision made } & \text { Number of students/frequency } \\ \hline \text { Accepted } & 931 \\ \hline \text { Waitlisted } & 298 \\ \hline \text { Denied } & 526 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 1755 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
