How did you come to the conclusion for the relative frequencies numbers being 0.5, 0.10, etc?

Answer to Problem 5TY
The relative frequency histogram that represents the points scored by the 51 winning teams is as follows:
Points scored by the Winning Super Bowl Teams
Relative frequency
0.30-
0.25-
0.20-
0.15-
0.10-
0.05-
0.00
Explanation of Solution
14-20 8
21-27 15
28-34 14
35-41 7
13.5
Given info:
The data represents the points scored by the 51 winning teams.
Calculation:
From the problem 'try it yourself 2' the frequency distribution is as follows:
Class Frequencyf Mid point Relative frequency
42-48 4
49-55 3
20.5
Σf=51
Software procedure:
17
24
31
38
45
27.5
34.5
Points scored
