Answer 1

To find the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, we need to divide the number of people who prefer both island vacations and swimming by the total number of people who prefer island vacations.

In this case, the number of people who prefer both island vacations and swimming is 40.

The total number of people who prefer island vacations is 12 + 53 + 40 = 105.

So, the relative frequency is:
40 / 105 ≈ 0.381
Multiplying by 100 to convert to percentage, we get:
0.381 * 100 ≈ 38.1%

Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming is approximately 38.1%.
