The relative frequency would be the number of birds divided by the total number of animals. There were 12 birds and 15 + 11 + 2 + 12 = 40 total animals, so the relative frequency was 12 / 40 = 0.3.
"Relative" frequency refers to the fact that we have normalized to the total number of events (i.e., total number of animals). The "frequency" alone would simply be the number of events of interest (i.e., number of birds). So the frequency of birds is just 12.

The number of boarded animals was 15+11+2+12 = 40.
Of these 12 were birds. The relative frequency for birds was 12/40 = 0.30 or 30%.

well there were 12 birds out of 40 total animals,
so if you reduce the numbers (12/40) you get 3 birds for every 10 animals, so I would say that the relative requency is 30%,
I'm not 100% sure what is meant by relative frequency, but that is how I would answer.

relative frequency = the ratio of the number of times an event
occurs to the number of occasions on
which it might occur in the same period
hope this helps but sorry i aint gonna do your homework for ya
