1. out of all respondents, the percentage that were from the 18 - 25 age group who chose horror was?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Action total

Add the values in the Action column: \(238 + 350+320=908\)

Step2: Calculate Comedy total

Add the values in the Comedy column: \(450 + 472+490 = 1412\)

Step3: Calculate Horror total

Add the values in the Horror column: \(312+178 + 190=680\)

Step4: Calculate Grand total

Add the totals of Action, Comedy, Horror: \(908+1412 + 680=3000\)

Step1: Percentage formula

The formula for percentage is \(\text{Percentage}=\frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}}\times100\). For the 25 - 49 age group choosing Horror, the part is \(178\) and the whole is \(1000\).

Step2: Calculate the percentage

\(\text{Percentage}=\frac{178}{1000}\times100 = 17.8\%\)

Step1: Compare values in 50+ age group

In the 50+ age group, the values are: Action \(320\), Comedy \(490\), Horror \(190\). Since \(490>320>190\)

a. Check 18 - 25 age group

In 18 - 25 age group: Action \(238\), Comedy \(450\), Horror \(312\). \(450>312\), so a is false.

b. Check Action viewers

Action totals: \(238\) (18 - 25), \(350\) (25 - 49), \(320\) (50+). \(350>320>238\), so b is false.

c. Check Comedy viewers

Comedy totals: \(450\) (18 - 25), \(472\) (25 - 49), \(490\) (50+). \(490\) is the largest, so c is true.

d. Check 18 - 25 Comedy

In 18 - 25, total is \(1000\), Comedy is \(450\). \(1000 - 450=550\) (not Comedy). \(550>450\), so d is true.

e. Check action in age groups

In each age - group, action is not the majority (e.g., 18 - 25: Comedy \(450>238\) (Action)), so e is false.

Answer:

Action: \(908\), Comedy: \(1412\), Horror: \(680\), Total: \(3000\)
