Given the data in the table what is the relative frequency that the people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains Round the percentage to nearest tenth

Answer 1

To calculate the relative frequency that the people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains, we need to divide the number of people who prefer hiking and mountains by the total number of people who prefer hiking.

Looking at the table, we see that in the "Prefer Hiking" row, there are 12 people who prefer hiking and mountains. Therefore, the relative frequency is 12 out of 28 (12/28).

To convert this to a percentage, we divide 12 by 28 and then multiply by 100:

(12/28) * 100 = 0.42857 * 100 ≈ 42.9%

So, the relative frequency that people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains is approximately 42.9%.
