Answer 2

Answer: 0.139

Explanation:

From the given table, the total number of females = 252

The number of females that owned cats = 35

Therefore , the relative frequency of women that owned cats is given by :-

`\frac{\text{Number of females that own cats}}{\text{Number of females}}\\\\=(35)/(252)=0.138888888889\approx0.139`

Hence, the relative frequency of women that owned cats is 0.139.
