To find the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, you need to use the data from the table.
The total number of people who prefer island vacations is 12 + 40 = 52.
Out of those 52 people, 40 prefer swimming.
So, the relative frequency is:

0.7692 * 100 = 76.9%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is 76.9%.
