Question

PLEASE HELP! A survey was done that asked people to indicate whether they preferred pool swimming or ocean swimming. The results of the survey are shown in the two-way table.

Chantal is making a relative frequency table from this data.

What operation should Chantal perform to determine the relative frequency of a person over 30 years old who prefers ocean swimming?




Divide 239 by 609.


Subtract 185 from 609, then divide by 609.


Divide 185 by 609.


Add 239 to 609, then divide by 609.

Answer 1

C

Explanation:

I think the answer is C,

since to find the relative frequency, you divide the specific frequency

(in this case people over 30 who prefer ocean swimming, 185 people)

by the # of values total

(all values recorded, which in this case is the 609 peoples' surveys)

so, divide 185 by 609, which is C
