The experiment is repeated 50 times. The following table lists the distribution of the number of free throws attempted until a miss is recorded.
\(\begin{array}{|rr|} \hline 1 & 16 \\ \hline 2 & 11 \\ \hline 3 & 9 \\ \hline 4 & 7 \\ \hline 5 & 2 \\ \hline 6 & 3 \\ \hline 7 & 0 \\ \hline 8 & 1 \\ \hline 9 & 0 \\ \hline 10 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array}\)
(a) Construct a relative frequency distribution of the data.
