Question

2.3.3 quiz: two - way frequency tables
question 8 of 10
the table shows how many males and females attended two different movies. how would you find the joint relative frequency of being male and attending a drama movie?

	action	drama	total
female	99	151	250
total	204	275	479

a. divide 124 by 479.
b. divide 124 by 275.
c. divide 229 by 275.
d. divide 124 by 229.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall joint - relative frequency formula

Joint relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency in the cell}}{\text{Total frequency of the table}}$

Step2: Identify relevant values

The frequency of being male and attending a drama movie is 124. The total frequency of the table (total number of people surveyed) is 479.

Step3: Determine the operation

To find the joint relative frequency of being male and attending a drama movie, we divide the frequency in the cell (124) by the total frequency of the table (479).

Answer:

A. Divide 124 by 479.
