How to use this tool?
This calculator computes the relative frequency of an event, which is the ratio of how often the event occurs to the total number of trials.
- Enter the number of times the event occurs in the first field (e.g., 15). This must be a non-negative integer.
- Enter the total number of trials in the second field (e.g., 100). This must be a positive integer greater than zero.
- Click "Calculate Relative Frequency".
- The result displays as a decimal (rounded to 4 places) along with the formula breakdown.
Note: The event count cannot exceed the total number of trials. All inputs must be whole numbers (no decimals).

Frequently Asked Questions
Relative frequency is the ratio of the number of times an event occurs to the total number of trials. It is a measure of how often something happens relative to the total number of opportunities.
Relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of times the event occurs by the total number of trials. For example, if an event occurs 15 times out of 100 trials, the relative frequency is 15/100 = 0.15.
No, relative frequency is always between 0 and 1 inclusive, because the number of occurrences cannot exceed the total number of trials.
