Question

Use the table to answer the question

Swimming
the table shows peoples preferences for vacation activities (such swimming or hiking)
And where they would want to go


Preferences. Mountains. Seaside. Island
Hiking. 45. 20. 12
Swimming 53. 40.


Given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth

Answer 1

To find the relative frequency of people who prefer swimming among those who prefer island vacations, we first need to determine the total number of people who prefer island vacations, and then find out how many of those prefer swimming.

From the table, we see the following values for preferences on the island:

- People who prefer hiking at the island: 12
- People who prefer swimming at the island: 0 (the number is not provided in your text, but it is implied that it's 0)

Now, let's calculate the total number of people who prefer island vacations:

Total for the island = People prefer hiking + People prefer swimming
= 12 (hiking) + 0 (swimming)
= 12

Next, we calculate the relative frequency of those who prefer swimming:

Relative Frequency = (Number of people who prefer swimming) / (Total number of people who prefer island vacations)

Using the values we have:

Relative Frequency = 0 (swimming) / 12 (total) = 0

To express this as a percentage, we multiply by 100:

Relative Frequency percentage = 0 * 100 = 0%

Thus, the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming is **0.0%** when rounded to the nearest tenth.
