Both the relative frequency distribution and the frequency distribution compare the frequencies of classes in the set. However, using « relative frequency distribution expresses the frequencies as percentages of the whole. This allows you to comparedifferent sets ofdata. For example, alarge sample will have higher frequencies but could have the same relative frequency (shape) as a small set.
