Correct Answer Explanation

The class 0–10 had the lowest frequency of 1 — only one student scored between 0 and 10.

Key Points:
  • The lowest frequency class (0–10) shows that very few students failed badly.
  • The highest frequency class (50–60) shows most students scored in the average range.
  • Frequency expressed as a proportion of total frequency is called relative frequency.
  • Relative frequency of 0–10 = 1/100 = 1%
