12/12 = 100% of men disliked thunderstorms
12/12 = 100% of men disliked thunderstorms

12/12 = 1% of men disliked thunderstorms
12/12 = 1% of men disliked thunderstorms

12/24 = 50% of men disliked thunderstorms
12/24 = 50% of men disliked thunderstorms

12/24 = 0.50% of men disliked thunderstorms
12/24 = 0.50% of men disliked thunderstorms

Answer 1

To find the relative frequency of men who disliked thunderstorms, you need the total number of men and the number of men who disliked thunderstorms.

If we assume the numbers you've given indicate that 12 men disliked thunderstorms out of a total of 24 men, the relative frequency of men who disliked thunderstorms is calculated as follows:

\[
\text{Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of men who disliked thunderstorms}}{\text{Total number of men}} = \frac{12}{24} = 0.50
\]

To convert this to a percentage:

\[
0.50 \times 100 = 50\%
\]

Thus, the correct statement would be:

**12/24 = 50% of men disliked thunderstorms**.

So the relative frequency of men who disliked thunderstorms is 50%.
