To calculate the relative frequency, divide the number of students of each ethnicity by the total number of applicants and multiply by 100 to get a percentage. For Black or Hispanic, $ \frac{456}{1606} \times 100 \approx 28\% $; for Asian, $ \frac{300}{1606} \times 100 \approx 19\% $; for White, $ \frac{850}{1606} \times 100 \approx 53\% $.
