Relative frequency is a measure of the number of times a particular value results, as a fraction of the full set. In order to calculate relative frequency, you need to know how many data points you have in your full data set. The will become the denominator in the fraction that you use for calculating. In the sample data set provided above, counting each item results in 16 total data points. You need to determine the number of times that each data point appears in your results. You may want to calculate the relative frequency of one particular item, or you may be summarizing the overall data for the full data set. For example, in the data set provided above, consider the value 4{\displaystyle 4}. This value appears three times in the list. This is the final calculation to determine the relative frequency of each item. You can set it up as a fraction or use a calculator or spreadsheet to perform the division. Continuing with the example above, because the value 4{\displaystyle 4} appears three times, and the full set contains 16 items, you can determine that the relative frequency of the value 4{\displaystyle 4} is 3/16. This is equal to a decimal result of 0.1875.

Summary: Count your full data set. Count each result. Divide each result by the total size of the set.


Stand tall and face the mourners. Straighten your shoulders and pretend there is a string from the ceiling to the nape of your neck. Put your notes on the podium, if there is one, or hold them at your waist. Don't stare down at your notes or at the podium. Remember to speak to the front row—the ones who loved the deceased the most and are the most saddened by the death. They are listening to you attentively, and the rest of the room is also witnessing your speech to them. When you talk about someone, look at them. As you speak, notice how you feel. If you feel nervous, tell yourself to slow down. You may be speaking more quickly than you think. Project your voice—don't yell, but breathe from your stomach, and try to hit the back wall with your words.  Speak in a conversational tone. There's no need to pitch your voice for drama—the situation will speak for itself. Speak more slowly than you normally would. Not only will this help the audience understand you, but it may keep you calm as well. You may cry. Keep going unless you are choking up. If you are choking up, use your calming techniques that you planned. The audience will not be shocked if you cry—they will be sympathetic.

Summary: Look at the audience. Address the family. Speak loudly and slowly. Wipe away tears and keep going.


If you want to expose the mattress to sunlight as well as fresh air, you’ll need to wait for a sunny, warm day.  Spring through fall is the best time to find a day free of rain or excessive cold.  If the weather is unpleasant, you do have the option of airing the mattress indoors, but the ideal, of course, is to air it out-of-doors. You should try to let your mattress breathe for at least one hour before replacing the bedding.  Airing the mattress in the morning is often the preferred time because the average morning routine before going to work takes about an hour.  This way, you can shower and breakfast at the same time your mattress is being aired, and replace it just before heading out the door. If you work late, you might be too tired to strip the bedding and pillows from the mattress just to let it air.  Late in the evening, the only thing you’ll want to do with a bed is sleep on it! Mattresses often have a residual odor that lingers on them due to the manufacturing and packaging process.  In order to minimize or eliminate this odor, the first thing you should do after stripping off its protective plastic wrapping is to let it air.  While normally mattresses should air for just an hour or two, new mattresses should air for a full 24 hours because off-gassing will occur during that entire first day. When you air your mattress, you have to remove – at the very least -- the sheets, blankets, and pillows from the bed.  If airing the mattress outside, you could remove the bed skirt easily, too.  You might consider laundering these things since you’ll be removing them from the bed anyhow, and if you don’t, they’ll just be strewn haphazardly about your bedroom, crowding your bedroom walking space. If you live in a relatively rural environment with lots of critters like mice and raccoons, you don’t want them making your new mattress into their home. Worse, they could mark it as their territory with urine or feces.  In such an environment, air your mattress in doors.  In an urban area, you might lack space and be obligated to air your mattress indoors as well.  If you live in the suburbs, though, you’ll be able to air your mattress outside.  Your backyard is the best place to air the mattress out. You could also lean it against a wall on a clean porch. Urbanist's whose homes have an upper-story balcony which can accommodate the mattress could consider setting it up there if they want to air it outside. You can air the mattress outside or inside.  If airing inside, all you have to do after stripping the bed of linens is to open the window(s).  For added purification, introduce plants into the bedroom.  Plants purify the air naturally and will ensure the air your mattress is exposed to is as fresh as can be.  If airing outside, ensure the spot you’re setting the mattress on is free of puddles or wetness, and will not be exposed to dripping water or precipitation.  Find a place which is clean and dry for the mattress to stand.  You should try to lean the mattress against a wall or vertical beam, either on its end or on its side.  In this way, the maximum amount of area possible will be exposed to the air. If airing outside, find a place where the sun can touch the mattress as well.   If necessary, place a tarp between the mattress and the ground.  A wet mattress will encourage mold.

Summary: Ensure the weather is pleasant. Choose a good time of day. Air your mattress when it is new. Clean other bedroom components. Decide where to air your mattress. Choose a good environment in which to air the mattress.


This is probably the most common way to enjoy Nutella, and certainly one of the simplest aside from eating it straight off the spoon (which is perfectly acceptable).  Try it on a nice crusty baguette. It’s also tasty on a toasted bagel. Enjoy it with Crepes. As a quick online search will tell you, waffles and Nutella is a popular breakfast. It may not be healthy, but it is guaranteed to be satisfying.  Try warming the Nutella in the microwave for a few seconds (take care not to microwave it in the plastic container). It’s hard to beat a warm chocolate-hazelnut drizzle. If you prefer pancakes over waffles, you can make Nutella pancakes by swirling some into the batter, topping the pancakes with a Nutella-based syrup, or stuffing the pancakes with a creamy Nutella filling. If you’re looking for a quick snack, try spreading Nutella between two Ritz crackers.  Some people prefer the saltiness of a Ritz cracker, but you may use any cracker you like. Try spreading Nutella on wafer cookies. A lot like spreading Nutella on crackers, only a bit more indulgent. Certainly for those with a serious sweet tooth. The ultimate combination of sweet and salty.  Cook bacon to desired crispiness and let it cool. Warm the Nutella over low heat while the bacon is cooling. Using a spatula, and taking care not to break the bacon, coat the bacon in Nutella. Refrigerate to let the Nutella set on the bacon. Enjoy.
Summary: Spread Nutella on a slice of plain white bread. Top your waffles with it. Make mini Nutella sandwiches. Spread Nutella on bacon.
