Enter the frequency of the event and the total frequency into the calculator to determine the marginal relative frequency. This calculator helps to find the proportion of a single event in a set of data.

Marginal Relative Frequency Formula

The following formula is used to calculate the marginal relative frequency.

MRF = F / T

Variables:

  • MRF is the marginal relative frequency
  • F is the frequency of the event
  • T is the total frequency of all events

To calculate the marginal relative frequency, divide the frequency of the event by the total frequency of all events.

What is Marginal Relative Frequency?

Marginal relative frequency is a statistical measure used to describe the proportion of a single event in a set of data. It is calculated by dividing the frequency of the event by the total frequency of all events. This measure is useful in understanding the distribution of data and is often used in the fields of statistics and probability.

How to Calculate Marginal Relative Frequency?

The following steps outline how to calculate the Marginal Relative Frequency.


  1. First, determine the frequency of the event (F).
  2. Next, determine the total frequency of all events (T).
  3. Next, gather the formula from above = MRF = F / T.
  4. Finally, calculate the Marginal Relative Frequency (MRF).
  5. After inserting the variables and calculating the result, check your answer with the calculator above.

Example Problem : 

Use the following variables as an example problem to test your knowledge.

Frequency of the event (F) = 15

Total frequency of all events (T) = 150
