(1 point)
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, we need to look at the value in the intersection of the Island row and the Swimming column.
In this case, that value is 40.
To calculate the relative frequency, we divide the number of people who prefer island vacations and swimming (40) by the total number of people who prefer island vacations (12 + 53 + 40 = 105).
Relative Frequency = 40 / 105 = 0.381
Convert this to a percentage by multiplying by 100:
0.381 * 100 = 38.1%
Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming is 38.1%.
