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?

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
\hline & Action & Drama & Total \\
\hline Male & 105 & 124 & 229 \\
\hline Female & 99 & 151 & 250 \\
\hline Total & 204 & 275 & 479 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

A. Divide 124 by 229.
B. Divide 229 by 275.
C. Divide 124 by 479.
D. Divide 124 by 275.

GinnyAnswer
To find the joint relative frequency of being male and attending a drama movie, follow these steps:

1. Identify the relevant numbers from the table:
- The number of males attending a drama movie: 124
- The total number of attendees (sum of all entries): 479

2. Understand the definition of joint relative frequency:
- Joint relative frequency is the ratio of a specific criterion to the total number of observations.

3. Setup the ratio:
- Here, the joint relative frequency you are looking for is the number of males attending a drama movie (124) divided by the total number of attendees (479).

4. Calculate the joint relative frequency:
- Perform the division of 124 by 479.

So, we have [tex]\( \frac{124}{479} \)[/tex].

Thus, the correct answer is:
C. Divide 124 by 479.

The computed result for this division is approximately 0.2588726513569937.
