Step-by-step explanation:

a) The frequencies are simply the number of times each industry sector sent in a complaint. So, it's straight forward to present.

b) The percentage for each industry is done in comparison to the the total amount of complaints received.

Percentage for each industry = 100% × (Number of complaints from that industry)/(Total number of complaints)

Total amount of complaints received = 200

For Bank industry,

Percentage = 100% × (26/200) = 13%

For the Cable Industry,

Percentage = 100% × (44/200) = 22%

For Car industry,

Percentage = 100% × (42/200) = 21%

For Cell industry,

Percentage = 100% × (60/200) = 30%

For Collection industry,

Percentage = 100% × (28/200) = 14%

c) The industry with the highest number of complaints is the one with the highest frequency and percentage, and that is the Cell Industry.
