To determine which superhero is the most likely to be the favorite among the students in Anabelle's class, we analyze the column totals in the provided table. The column totals represent the overall relative frequency of each superhero being chosen as a favorite by both boys and girls combined. The row labeled "Column totals" lists these frequencies.

Here are the values for each superhero:
- Superman: 0.14
- Spiderman: 0.23
- Batman: 0.28
- Wonder Woman: 0.36

The superhero with the highest column total is the most popular because it has the highest relative frequency of being chosen as a favorite.

Examining the column totals:
- Superman has a total of 0.14
- Spiderman has a total of 0.23
- Batman has a total of 0.28
- Wonder Woman has a total of 0.36

Among these, the highest value is 0.36, which corresponds to Wonder Woman.

Therefore, based on the data collected by Anabelle, Wonder Woman is most likely to be the favorite superhero in her class.
