Question

the table shows how many males and females attended two different movies. how would you find the joint relative frequency of being female and attending an action movie?

	action	drama	total
female	99	151	250
total	204	275	479

a. divide 99 by 250.
b. divide 204 by 250.
c. divide 99 by 204.
d. divide 99 by 479.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall joint - relative frequency formula

Joint relative frequency = $\frac{\text{Frequency of the joint event}}{\text{Total frequency of all data}}$

Step2: Identify the relevant frequencies

The frequency of being female and attending an action movie is 99. The total number of people (total frequency of all data) is 479.

Answer:

D. Divide 99 by 479.
