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 find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, we first need to find the total number of people who prefer island vacations. From the table, we see that 12 people prefer island vacations.
Next, we find the number of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming, which is 40 people.
Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming is:
(40 / 12) * 100 = 333.3%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is approximately 333.3%.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming.
To find the relative frequency, we will use the formula:
Relative frequency = (Number of people who prefer island vacations and prefer swimming) / (Total number of people who prefer island vacations)
From the table:
Number of people who prefer island vacations and prefer swimming = 40
Total number of people who prefer island vacations = 12
Relative frequency = 40 / 12 = 3.33
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is approximately 3.3%.
