Relative frequency for guest who will win the prize:

Relative frequency = 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total No. of guest = 500

No. of Guests with even-numbered tickets:

Ticket NO. 2 = 42

Ticket NO. 4 = 56

Ticket NO. 6 = 43

Ticket NO. 8 = 41

Ticket NO. 10 = 68

Total No. of Guest with even-numbered ticket = 42+56+43+41+68

Total No. of Guest with even-numbered ticket = 250

So.

Relative frequency = (frequency of desirable event / total frequency) · 100

Relative frequency = (250/500) · 100

Relative frequency = 50%
