To find the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, you need to calculate the percentage of people who prefer island vacations and swimming out of the total number of people.
Total number of people who prefer island vacations = 12 + 40 = 52
Number of people who prefer island vacations and swimming = 40
Relative frequency = (Number of people who prefer island vacations and swimming / Total number of people who prefer island vacations) x 100%
Relative frequency = (40 / 52) x 100%
Relative frequency = 0.769 x 100% = 76.9%
Therefore, the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming is approximately 76.9%.
