attending an action movie?

A. Divide 99 by 204.
B. Divide 204 by 250.
C. Divide 99 by 250.
D. Divide 99 by 479

Answer 1

To find the joint relative frequency of being female and attending an action movie, divide the number of females who attended the action movie by the total number of attendees for both movies, which would be 99 divided by 479.

option d is the correct

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the joint relative frequency of being female and attending an action movie from a two-way table, you would need to divide the number of females who attended the action movie by the total number of people who attended both movies. Assuming the provided number 99 represents the count of females attending the action movie, and the total attendance for both movies is 479, the correct calculation is to divide 99 by 479.

The formula for the joint relative frequency in this context is:

Joint relative frequency = (Number of females attending the action movie) / (Total attendance for both movies)

Therefore:

Joint relative frequency = 99 / 479

This calculation will give you the proportion of all attendees who are both female and who attended the action movie.
