To find the relative frequency distribution, divide the number of students in each category by the total number of applicants. Accepted: 760/1470 = 51.7% (approximately 52%), Wait-listed: 269/1470 = 18.3% (approximately 18%), Turned away: 441/1470 = 30%. Adding these percentages gives 100%, confirming that all applicants are accounted for.
