(1 point)
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains, we need to divide the number of people who prefer hiking and mountains by the total number of people who prefer hiking.
Number of people who prefer hiking and mountains = 45
Total number of people who prefer hiking = 45 + 20 + 12 = 77
Relative frequency = 45/77 ≈ 0.584
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is 58.4%.
