Preference seventh graders eighth graders prefers cats 36 22 prefers dogs 8 26 no preference to six. What is the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs were in seventh grade round the percentage to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

First, we need to find the total number of seventh graders and eighth graders who prefer dogs.

For seventh graders: 8 students prefer dogs
For eighth graders: 26 students prefer dogs

Total number of students who prefer dogs: 8 + 26 = 34

To find the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs were in seventh grade, we need to divide the number of seventh graders who prefer dogs by the total number of students who prefer dogs:

Relative frequency = 8/34 ≈ 0.2353

Convert this to a percentage and round to the nearest tenth:

0.2353 * 100 = 23.5%

Therefore, the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs and are in seventh grade is 23.5%.
