Type of Movie Number of Visitors Comedy 14 Action 9 Drama 17 Horror 8 Mystery 28 Thriller 6 Romance 34 A theater owner conducted a survey of the types of movies their visitors like. Predict how many visitors would like a mystery if the theater owner surveyed 7,685 moviegoers.
To predict how many visitors would like a mystery movie, we can calculate the proportion of visitors who like mystery movies based on the given data.
According to the survey data, there were 28 visitors who liked mystery movies out of a total of:
14 + 9 + 17 + 8 + 28 + 6 + 34 = 116 visitors
Therefore, the proportion of visitors who like mystery movies is:
28/116 ≈ 0.2414
To predict how many visitors would like a mystery movie out of 7,685 moviegoers, we would multiply the proportion of mystery moviegoers by the total number of moviegoers:
0.2414 * 7,685 ≈ 1,855
Therefore, we can predict that approximately 1,855 visitors out of 7,685 moviegoers would like mystery movies.
