Answer
$\frac{50}{142}$ or $\frac{25}{71}$
Work Step by Step
Relative frequency is a count of the number of times an event occurs, expressed as a proportion. Of the 142 people surveyed, 50 preferred Radio. This means that 50 of 142 people preferred Radio. We can express the relative frequency as a proportion, with the number of people who preferred Radio in the numerator and the total people surveyed in the denominator: $\frac{50}{142}$. This can then be reduced to $\frac{25}{71}$.
(We know that 142 people were surveyed because 54 preferred CDs, 50 preferred Radio, 10 preferred Blu-Ray, and 28 preferred MP3. 54 + 50 + 10 + 28 = 142.)
