Explanation :
To calculate the relative frequency, divide the number of students of each ethnicity by the total number of applicants and multiply by 100 to get a percentage. For Black or Hispanic, 4561606×100≈28% \frac{456}{1606} \times 100 \approx 28\% 1606456×100≈28% ; for Asian, 3001606×100≈19% \frac{300}{1606} \times 100 \approx 19\% 1606300×100≈19% ; for White, 8501606×100≈53% \frac{850}{1606} \times 100 \approx 53\% 1606850×100≈53% .
