Varies all over the place. I've run a campaign that had only two scenes with combat rolls in two years of monthly sessions: one ship-to-ship battle and one scene where a character was having a seizure and needed to be restrained so the medic could work on her. I've run campaigns that had a big combat roughly every other session, and perhaps a minor clash in the odd-numbered sessions. My current swashbuckling campaign has a training scene every session and a serious fight every couple of sessions.
I tend to focus a lot on motivation, characterization, and social interaction; secondarily on world exploration and investigation. If fighting is relevant to the campaign theme, there will be fighting.
