In this video, Carlton introduces the concept of relative frequency, a form of experimental probability. He explains how relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of times an event occurs by the total number of trials. Using examples like dice rolling and survey data, Carlton demonstrates how to compute relative frequency and interpret the results. The video concludes with instructions for the next session, where students will find the relative frequency for MBAs and master's degrees.
