twice a month or less	33	41

(a) what percentage of the students go to the movies three times a month or more?
(b) what percentage of the students prefer action movies?

Explanation:

Step1: Find total number of students

The total number of students surveyed is 100.

Step2: Calculate percentage for part (a)

The number of students who go to the movies three times a month or more is \(13 + 13=26\). The percentage is \(\frac{26}{100}\times100 = 26\%\).

Step3: Calculate percentage for part (b)

The number of students who prefer action movies is \(13+33 = 46\). The percentage is \(\frac{46}{100}\times100=46\%\).

Answer:

(a) 26%
(b) 46%
