We want to answer the following question.
00:05
Why should relative frequencies be used when comparing two datasets? this question is challenging your understanding of organization and summarization for qualitative data.
00:15
Specifically, it's asking, why would we compare the relative frequencies of two data sets if we already have normal frequencies? relative frequencies must be calculated using normal frequencies, and so why should we take the extra step of calculating these relative frequencies to compare the data sets? so, first and foremost, we acknowledge that the reason that we use relative frequencies to consider, compare datasets is because different sample or population sizes make comparisons using normal frequencies misleading.
00:39
We take that extra step of calculating relative frequencies because it's hard to compare normal frequencies.

So to provide a visual example of this, look at the two frequency distributions for data sets with a, b, c, and c, and 20, d .ef...
