👉 The rate of occurrence of anything; the relationship between incidence and time period.
Alright class, settle down, let’s take a look! That definition you read – “the rate of occurrence…relationship with time” - it’s all about frequency , don't you see? Think of it like this: imagine raindrops falling. How often do they hit the ground? That's frequency! It’s how many times something happens in a certain amount of time. Let’s say you clap your hands ten times in one minute – that’s a high frequency, a quick pace! If you clap just once every five minutes, that’s a low frequency, taking its sweet time, you see? The dictionary is right about the connection to ‘incidence,’ which means how much of something happens. But frequency adds the important bit – it tells us how quickly it's happening! It’s all about that rate, measured against a period. Does that make sense? Do you have any questions about how often things occur?
