Use the table to answer the question.
Preferences Mountains Seaside Island
Hiking 45 20 12
Swimming 12 53 40
Given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth.
(1 point)
To find the relative frequency, we need to divide the number of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming by the total number of people who prefer island vacations.
From the table, we can see that 40 people prefer swimming and island vacations.
The total number of people who prefer island vacations is 12 + 40 = 52.
Therefore, the relative frequency is 40/52 ≈ 0.7692.
Converting this to a percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is approximately 76.9%.
