Preferences Mountains Seaside Island
Hiking 45 20 12
Swimming 12 53 40
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.
(its not 38.1%)
wrong, try again
i said 38.1 is not correct
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations also prefer swimming, we take the number of people who prefer both island vacations and swimming (40) and divide it by the total number of people who prefer island vacations (12 + 53 + 40 = 105):
40 / 105 ≈ 0.381
Converting 0.381 to a percentage, we get 38.1%.
Apologies for the mistake.

I apologize for missing the correct answer in the previous responses. Let's calculate it again:
The total number of people who prefer island vacations is 12 + 53 + 40 = 105.
The number of people who prefer both island vacations and swimming is 40.
To find the relative frequency of people who prefer island vacations and also prefer swimming, we divide 40 by 105:
40 / 105 ≈ 0.381
Multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage, we get 38.1%.
Therefore, the correct answer is 38.1%. Thank you for your patience.
