(1 point)
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, you divide the number of people who prefer both by the total number of people who prefer island vacations:
Relative Frequency = (Number of People who Prefer Island Vacations and Swimming) / (Number of People who Prefer Island Vacations)
Relative Frequency = 40 / 12 = 3.33
Now, to convert this relative frequency to a percentage, you multiply by 100:
Relative Frequency = 3.33 * 100 = 333.3%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is 333.3%.
