Answer:

The relative frequency of mammals in the survey is 30%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Relative frequency is the ratio of the occurrence of a singular event and the total number of outcome

Amphibians  Insects  Fish  Reptiles  Birds  Mammals

12                 30          9          25        22        42

Relative frequency = [tex]= \frac{\text{ (number of trials that are successful)}}{\text{(total number of trials)}}[/tex]

Total number of wildlife animals  = 12+ 30 +9 +25+22+42 = 140

Now the relative frequency of mammals in the survey = [tex]\frac{\text{total number of mammals}}{\text{ Total number of animals}}[/tex]

the relative frequency of mammals in the survey =[tex]\frac{42}{140}[/tex] = 0.3

Converting into percentage , we get

=[tex]0.3 \times 100[/tex]

= 30 %
