and the accompanying frequency table and bar graph represent these data. In
the bar graph, the height of the blue-gray bar is 4, the height of the green bar
is 9, and so on.

Suppose that, rather than being just a bar graph, the display you see above is
a relative frequency bar graph. The vertical axis of the graph will be marked
off in percentages, from 0 percent up to 30 percent. What will be the height of
the green bar?
A. 25
