Consider a perfectly 'fair' die. The probability of throwing a two with it is 1 out of six. In fact, if you were to throw this die 1200 times you would expect the die to come up two very nearly 200 times. No matter what the actual frequency, n, might be though you would say that the relative frequency was n/1200.
We would rarely speak of subjective frequency. Rather we would speak of subjective probability. Suppose you are a meteorologist attempting to convey your 'degree of belief' about whether a six-centimetre snowfall will occur this evening. There is no question that this afternoon's conditions will occur 1200 times again (at least not in your own lifetime) so that you can use a frequency approach. But you can use you own experience and knowledge of weather patterns to offer some indication of your degree of belief. You do this by saying something like, "I predict that there is a 60% probability that there will be a snowfall this evening in our region this evening."
I've seen statisticians become very angry with each other over these alternative definitions of probability.

Relationship between relative frequency and probability of an event?
The relative frequency is an estimate of the probability of an event.
What is the difference between cumulative frequency and frequency?
nothing
What is the Difference between period and frequency?
Time period = 1 / frequency. Frequency = 1 / time period.
What is the Differences between absolute frequency and relatative frequency?
The absolute frequency is the total amount of occurances of one variable. The relative frequency is the absolute frequency divided by the total amount of occurances of ALL variables.
What is the difference between natural frequency and natural cyclic frequency?
numbers of cycle per unit time.
Difference between frequency table and relative frequency table?
Frequancy Tables only use whole numbers while relative frequency tables use exact percentages or decimals.
What is the difference between frequency distribution and relative frequency distribution?
Frequency distribution refers to a set of frequencies with a particular set of values into which a statistical population is grouped. Relative frequency refers to data presented in a table that demonstrates the relative frequency of multiple non-overlapping classes.

What is the difference between absolute frequency and relative frequency?
absolute frequency is a term decribing the total number of trials you did. a relative frequency is the number of measurements in an interval of a frequency distribution. or the ratio of the number of times an event occurs in a series of trials of a chance experiment to the number of trials of the experiment performed. so the difference is one is the total trials, and the other...well it depends on which definition you picked...
Relationship between relative frequency and probability of an event?
The relative frequency is an estimate of the probability of an event.
What is the difference between a frequency histogram and a relative frequency histogram?
Both divide the data into discrete groups or intervals. The frequency histogram gives the number of times the data occur in the particular group or interval, while the relative frequency histogram gives the fraction of times the data occur in the particular group or interval.

What is the difference between pitch and Doppler effect?
Pitch refers to how high or low a sound is perceived, whereas the Doppler effect refers to the change in frequency of a wave as the source and observer move relative to each other. Pitch is subjective to our perception, while the Doppler effect is a physical phenomenon that can be measured.
What is the difference between cumulative frequency and frequency?
nothing

What is the difference between the words pitch and frequency?
Frequency has a 'Q' in it.
