Last Picture Show. Here's another table showing information about 120 movies released in 2005. This table gives percentages of the table total: a) How can you tell that this table holds table percentages (rather than row or column percentages)? b) What was the most common genre/rating combination in 2005 movies? c) How many of these movies were PG-rated comedies? d) How many were G-rated? e) An editorial about the movies noted, "More than three-quarters of the movies made today can be seen only by patrons 13 years old or older." Does this table support that assertion? Explain.

Explanation / Answer

As per the editorial, more than 90 movies out of 120 movies can be seen only by 13 years old or older.

Percentage of PG-13 and R together = 46.7%+31.7% = 78.4%

Number of movies rated as PG-13 and R = 78.4%*120 ~ 94.

This justifies the statement of the editorial. Therefore we can conclude that, more than three quarter of the movies made today can be seen only by patrons 13 years old or older.
