| Place of residence | Urban | 20 | 25 | 50 | 39 |

Solution
The relative frequency of a class is defined as the ratio of frequency of the class to the sample size.
So, here the relative frequency of people in the sample whose highest degree is a two-year degree and their residence happens to be urban = 25 / 390 = 0.0641
