Math test anxiety can be found throughout the general
population. A study of 250 seniors at a local high school was
conducted. The following table was produced from the data. Complete
the missing parts.

i need step and method for the solution of the problem
Given that, total frequency = 250
Relative frequency = Frequency / Total Frequency
Relative frequency for "Generally relaxed" = 35/250 = 0.14
Cumulative relative frequency for "very anxious" = 0.24
Now, relative frequency for "Anxious" = 0.40 - 0.24 = 0.16
relative frequency for "Mildly anxious" = 1 - [0.24 + 0.16 + 0.14 + 0.18] = 1 - 0.72 = 0.28
And
Frequency for "Very anxious" = 250 * 0.24 = 60
Frequency for "Anxious" = 250 * 0.16 = 40
Frequency for "Mildly anxious" = 250 * 0.28 = 70
Frequency for "Very relaxed" = 250 - [60 + 40 + 70 + 35] = 250 - 205 = 45
Cumulative relative frequency for "Mildly anxious" = 0.40 + 0.28 = 0.68
Cumulative relative frequency for "Generally relaxed" = 0.68 + 0.14 = 0.82
Cumulative relative frequency for "Very relaxed" = 0.82 + 0.18 = 1
Therefore , complete table as follows :
| Score Range | Frequency | Relative Frequency | Cumulative Relative Frequency | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Very anxious | 60 | 0.24 | 0.24 | 
| Anxious | 40 | 0.16 | 0.40 | 
| Mildly anxious | 70 | 0.28 | 0.68 | 
| Generally relaxed | 35 | 0.14 | 0.82 | 
| Very relaxed | 45 | 0.18 | 1 | 
| Total | 250 |
