Answer: 0.139

Step-by-step 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 :-

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

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