Given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth.
( 38.1% is not the answer)
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming, we need to use the numbers from the table:
People who prefer island vacations and swimming = 40
Total number of people who prefer island vacations = 12 + 53 + 40 = 105
Relative frequency = (40 / 105) * 100% = 38.1%
Therefore, the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming is 38.1%.
i told you that 38.1% is not the answer!
Apologies for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming:
People who prefer island vacations and swimming = 40
Total number of people who prefer island vacations = 12 + 53 + 40 = 105
Relative frequency = (40 / 105) * 100% ≈ 38.1%
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency is 38.1%. Thank you for your patience.
