First, we must find the total of females, it will be


T=94+46+91

Now we must look at the table how many females prefer suspense movies, it's


S=46

Now we do the quotient between the females that prefer suspense by the total of females:


\begin{gathered} P=(46)/(94+46+91) \\ \\ P=(46)/(231) \\ \\ P=0.199134199 \end{gathered}

Rounding it, we can say that approximately,


P\approx0.2

Or 20% of the females prefer suspense movies
