Reading your result
Compare observed category count with total observations. The displayed quantity is dimensionless. A negative value, when the formula permits one, describes the direction of the difference—not a positive gain.
Limitations
Uses the stated mathematical model and consistent units. Display is rounded to six decimal places; preserve precision for chained calculations. Numeric results are rounded for display; the calculation does not establish that your chosen inputs represent a realistic or permitted scenario.
Common questions
Which units does Relative Frequency require?+
Category count: dimensionless number; Total observations: dimensionless number. Do not mix incompatible units.
