I believe there may be a possible error in the data table for Week 2 graded Assignment. In the table 2.3A (for questions 12 and 13), in the table, under frequency column it is mentioned 76 as frequency and it is mentioned in the given information that total matches played was 1000, as per my understanding the relative frequency is count/total count and hence relative frequency should be 0.076, however in the table it is given 0.152 which can only be possible if total matches was 500. Either the value 76 is wrong or 1000. I am not able to go ahead with solving the question due to this discrepancy. I'm attaching a snippet below, please advise as to what values I shall consider while answering the questions. Thank you!

Hello,

I have the same doubt, the total matched played by the team is either 1000 or 500.

Can someone please answer if there is any discrepancy in the question.

Thanks,

Agree!

The question is correct in my opinion.

A key aspect to be mindful of, is, these graded assignments are often meant to trick your understanding of the concepts. Stick to first principles.
