Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Recall relative - frequency formula
Relative frequency of a value = $\frac{\text{Frequency of the value}}{\text{Total frequency}}$
Step2: Identify relevant frequencies
We assume $y$ is the relative frequency of a certain cell. Let's assume it is the relative frequency of the cell with frequency 11 (in the E - H intersection). The total frequency is 45.
Step3: Calculate relative frequency
Relative frequency = $\frac{11}{45}\approx0.2444$
Step4: Convert to percentage
$0.2444\times100 = 24.44%$. Rounding to the nearest percent gives 24%, but it seems there is a misunderstanding. If we assume $y$ is the relative frequency of the value in the F - H cell (with frequency 8), then relative frequency = $\frac{8}{45}\approx0.1778$. Converting to percentage: $0.1778\times 100 = 17.78%\approx18%$, still not in the options. If we assume $y$ is the relative - frequency of the value in the E - G cell (with frequency 12), relative frequency=$\frac{12}{45}\approx0.2667$, and $0.2667\times100 = 26.67%\approx27%$
Answer:
27%
