(1 point)
To determine how many prefer hiking, but not in the mountains, we need to look at the hiking row in the table. According to the table, 45 people prefer hiking in the mountains. However, we are interested in those who prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.
To find this number, we need to subtract the number of people who prefer hiking in the mountains from the total number of people who prefer hiking.
Total number of people who prefer hiking: 45 + 20 + 12 = 77
Number of people who prefer hiking, but not in the mountains: 77 - 45 = <<77-45=32>>32
Therefore, 32 people prefer hiking, but not in the mountains.
