Among the computer science majors in the sample, find the relative frequency of those who happen to be female.

Round your answer to at least two decimal places.

Explanation / Answer

Here we are calculating relative frequency for computer science only

so total number of male and female students : 26 + 20 = 46

female relative frequency = number of female students in CS/total number of students in CS

                                    = 26/46

                                   = 0.5652
