Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The relative frequency of a class is computed by dividing the frequency of the class by the sample size. This gives a proportion or percentage of how many times the class occurred within the total sample. Option A is incorrect as the midpoint is not used in computing relative frequency. Option B is incorrect as the frequency is divided by the sample size, not the midpoint. Option C is also incorrect as the frequency is divided by the sample size, not the other way around.
