15.4%
To calculate the relative frequency, we need to find the total number of 7th graders who prefer dogs, which is 8, and divide it by the total number of students (including 7th and 8th graders) which is 52 (36+22+8+26+2+6).
8/52 = 0.1538
Converting this to a percentage, we get 15.4% (rounded to the nearest tenth).
Use the table to answer the question.
