Students seacoast mountains totals
7th grade 70. 40. 110.
8th grade 90. 110. 200.
Totals 160 150 310
Determine the relative frequency of the percent of seventh graders who prefer mountains. Round the percentage to the nearest tenth
36.4%
40%
26.7%
55%

Answer 1

In order to determine the relative frequency of the percent of seventh graders who prefer mountains, divide the number of seventh graders who prefer mountains by the total number of students:

40 / 160 = 0.25

To convert this to a percentage, multiply by 100:

0.25 * 100 = 25%

Therefore, the relative frequency of the percent of seventh graders who prefer mountains is 25% (rounded to the nearest tenth). This does not match any of the options provided.
