A dentist records the number of cavities in 100 children from a school. The information obtained is summarized in the following table:

No. of cavities	fi	ni
0	25	0.25
1	20	0.2
2	x	z
3	15	0.15
4	y	0.05

1. Complete the table to obtain the values of x, y, z.

The sum of the relative frequencies must be equal to 1:

0.25 + 0.2 + z + 0.15 + 0.05 = 1

0.65 + z = 1 z = 0.35

The relative frequency of the data equals the absolute frequency divided by 100, which is the sum of the absolute frequencies.

No. of caries	fi	ni	fi · ni
0	25	0.25	0
1	20	0.2	20
2	35	0.35	70
3	15	0.15	45
