To find the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs who are 7th graders, we need to add up the total number of 7th graders who prefer dogs (8) and divide it by the total number of students.

Total 7th graders = 36 (prefer cats) + 8 (prefer dogs) + 2 (no preference) = 46
Total 8th graders = 22 (prefer cats) + 26 (prefer dogs) + 6 (no preference) = 54
Total students = 46 (7th graders) + 54 (8th graders) = 100

Relative frequency of 7th graders who prefer dogs = 8/100 = 0.08 = 8%

Therefore, the relative frequency of students who prefer dogs who are 7th graders is 8%.
