female	0.07	0.11	0.15	0.16	0.49
total	0.2	0.18	0.3	0.32	1

what percentage of adults who chose watching television as their favorite weekend activity are males?
a. 84%
b. 16%
c. 31.37%
d. 50%

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant values

From the table, relative frequency of males who watch TV is $0.16$, total relative frequency of adults who watch TV is $0.32$.

Step2: Calculate the percentage

Divide male TV frequency by total TV frequency, multiply by 100.
$\text{Percentage} = \frac{0.16}{0.32} \times 100\%$

Step3: Simplify the expression

$\frac{0.16}{0.32} = 0.5$, so $0.5 \times 100\% = 50\%$

Answer:

D. 50%
