Given the data in the table, what is the relative frequency that people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth.
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming, we can divide the number of people who prefer both by the total number of people surveyed.
From the table:
- Number of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming: 40
- Total number of people surveyed: 200
Relative Frequency = (Number of people who prefer both) / (Total number of people surveyed)
Relative Frequency = 40 / 200
Relative Frequency = 0.2
To convert this to percentage, we multiply by 100:
Relative Frequency = 0.2 * 100
Relative Frequency = 20%
Therefore, approximately 20% of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming.
