Answer 1

The joint relative frequency of being female and attending an action movie is found by dividing the number of females who attended the action movie (99) by the total number of moviegoers (479), leading to the correct answer D. Divide 99 by 479.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the joint relative frequency of being female and attending an action movie from the given table, we need to consider how the joint frequency relates to the total number of observations.

For the joint frequency of being female and attending an action movie, we look at the number of females who attended the action movie, which is given as 99. To find the joint relative frequency, we divide this figure by the total number of people who attended both movies, which is 479. So, we perform the calculation (99 ÷ 479) to obtain the joint relative frequency.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

D. Divide 99 by 479.
