use the table to answer the question
mountains seaside island

given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that the people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth
To calculate the relative frequency, we need to find the percentage of people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains.
The total number of people who prefer hiking is 45 + 20 + 12 = 77.
The number of people who prefer hiking and also prefer mountains is 45.
Therefore, the relative frequency is (45/77) * 100 = 58.4%
So, the relative frequency that people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains is 58.4%.
