Preference 7th Graders 8th Graders Prefers Cats 36 22 Prefers Dogs 8 26 No Preference 2 6 What is the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs who are 7th graders? Round the percentage to the nearest tenth. Responses 23.5% 23.5% - not selected, this is the correct answer 76.5% 76.5% - no response given 17.4% 17.4% - incorrect 8%
To find the relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs, you need to add up the total number of 7th graders and then divide the number of 7th graders who prefer dogs by that total.
Total 7th graders = 36 (prefer cats) + 8 (prefer dogs) + 2 (no preference) = 46
Number of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8
Relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8/46 = 0.1739
Converting to percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth: 0.1739 * 100 = 17.4%
Therefore, the correct answer is 17.4%.
wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs:
Total 7th graders = 36 (prefer cats) + 8 (prefer dogs) + 2 (no preference) = 46
Number of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8
Relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8/46 ≈ 0.1739
Converting to percentage and rounding to the nearest tenth: 0.1739 * 100 ≈ 17.4%
Therefore, the correct answer is 17.4%. Thank you for your patience.
