Use the table to answer the question. Preferences 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 hiking also prefer mountains? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth. (1 point)
To find the relative frequency that people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains, we need to divide the number of people who prefer both hiking and mountains by the total number of people who prefer hiking.
In this case, the number of people who prefer both hiking and mountains is 45.
The total number of people who prefer hiking is 45 + 20 + 12 = 77.
Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains is 45/77 ≈ 0.5844.
Converting this to a percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth, we find that the relative frequency is approximately 58.4%.
