Step 1: Understand the concept of relative frequency. Relative frequency is calculated as the ratio of the number of times a specific event occurs to the total number of trials or observations. Mathematically, it is expressed as \(\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Frequency of event}}{\text{Total number of trials}}\).
Step 2: Understand the concept of cumulative frequency. Cumulative frequency is the running total of frequencies up to and including a particular value or category. It sums all frequencies from the first category up to the current one.
Step 3: Recognize that relative frequency focuses on the proportion of a single event relative to the whole dataset, while cumulative frequency aggregates frequencies across multiple events or categories up to a point.
Step 4: Compare the two definitions to identify the key difference: relative frequency measures the proportion for one event, whereas cumulative frequency measures the total count up to a certain value.
Step 5: Use this understanding to evaluate the given answer choices and select the one that correctly describes relative frequency as a proportion of total trials and cumulative frequency as the sum of frequencies up to a certain value.
