Is 46 students took a survey about if they preferred cats, dogs or had no preference and 36 students chose cats. Eight students chose dogs and two students said they had no preference. What's the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs? Round percentage to the nearest 10th

Answer 1

First, we need to find the total number of students who took the survey.

To find the total, we add the number of students who preferred cats, dogs, and had no preference:

36 + 8 + 2 = 46

Now, we can find the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs by dividing the number of students who chose dogs by the total number of students:

8 / 46 ≈ 0.174

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

0.174 * 100 = 17.4%

Rounded to the nearest tenth, the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs is approximately 17.4%.
