In order to find the relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs, we need to calculate the total number of 7th graders and then determine what percentage of them prefer dogs.
Total number of 7th graders = 36 (prefer cats) + 8 (prefer dogs) + 2 (no preference) = 46
Number of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8
Relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs = (Number of 7th graders who prefer dogs / Total number of 7th graders) x 100%
= (8 / 46) x 100%
≈ 17.4%
Therefore, the relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs is approximately 17.4%.
