use the table to answer the question
mountains seaside island
hiking 45 20 12
swimming 12 53 40
given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that the people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth
To calculate the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also preferring swimming, we need to use the data in the table.
There were a total of 12 people who prefer island vacations, and out of those, 40 preferred swimming.
The relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of people who prefer island vacations AND prefer swimming by the total number of people who prefer island vacations.
Relative frequency = (40 / 12) * 100% = 333.3%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is 33.3%.
wrong
I apologize for the error. Let's recalculate the relative frequency using the correct formula.
The relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming is given by:
Number of people who prefer island vacations and prefer swimming / Total number of people who prefer island vacations
From the table, we see that 40 people prefer swimming on an island vacation.
Total number of people who prefer island vacations = 12
Relative frequency = 40 / 12 = 3.33 or 33.3%
Therefore, the relative frequency is 33.3% that people prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming.
