QUESTION:

An article in the Winter 2003 issue of Chance magazine reported on the Houston Independent School District’s magnet schools programs. 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:

\(\begin{array}{|c|c|} \hline \text { Decision made } & \text { Number of students/frequency } \\ \hline \text { Accepted } & 931 \\ \hline \text { Waitlisted } & 298 \\ \hline \text { Denied } & 526 \\ \hline \text { Total } & 1755 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
