the table shows the amount, in inches, of annual rainfall in a sample of towns.

Rainfall (Inches) Frequency Relative Frequency Cumulative Relative Frequency
2.95–4.976 6 50 \frac{6}{50} = .12 .12
4.97–6.997 7 50 \frac{7}{50} = .14 .12 + .14 = .26
6.99–9.0115 15 50 \frac{15}{50} = .30 .26 + .30 = .56
9.01–11.038 8 50 \frac{8}{50} = .16 .56 + .16 = .72
11.03–13.059 9 50 \frac{9}{50} = .18 .72 + .18 = .90
13.05–15.075 5 50 \frac{5}{50} = .10.90 + .10 = 1.00
