The correct answer to fill in the blank is **"proportion."** Here's the completed statement: *A frequency distribution lists the number of occurrences of each category of data, while a relative frequency distribution lists the **proportion** of occurrences of each category of data.* **Explanation:** - **Frequency Distribution:** This shows the **count** of occurrences for each category. For example, if you have survey data on favorite colors, a frequency distribution would tell you how many people chose each color. - **Relative Frequency Distribution:** This represents the **proportion** (or percentage) of the total for each category. Using the same example, it would show what fraction or percentage each color represents out of the total responses. **Example:** | Favorite Color | Frequency | Relative Frequency | |----------------|-----------|--------------------| | Red | 30 | 30% | | Blue | 50 | 50% | | Green | 20 | 20% | In this table: - **Frequency** shows the count of each color. - **Relative Frequency** shows the proportion each color represents out of 100%. So, **"proportion"** is the appropriate term to complete the statement regarding relative frequency distribution.
