Relative Frequency is another term for proportion; it is the value calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of times an experiment is carried out. The probability of an event can be thought of as its long-run relative frequency when the experiment is carried out many times. If an experiment is repeated n times, and event E occurs r times, then the relative frequency of the event E is defined to be: rfn (E)= r / n
