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

Answer 1

To find the relative frequency of people who prefer hiking and also prefer mountains, we will divide the number of people who prefer hiking and mountains by the total number of people:

Number of people who prefer hiking and mountains = 35
Total number of people = 275

Relative frequency = (35/275) * 100% = 0.1273 * 100% = 12.7%

Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer hiking also prefer mountains is 12.7%.
