Answer 1

To complete the sentence, we need to analyze the data from the table regarding students' preferences.

From the table:

• Students who prefer TV shows:
  • Action: 6
  • Comedy: 18
  • Total: 24

Now, let's calculate the proportions:

• Students who prefer TV shows and prefer action:

  • Proportion = 6 (action) out of 24 (total TV show preferences) = \( \frac{6}{24} = 0.25 \) or 25%.

• Students who prefer TV shows and prefer comedy:

  • Proportion = 18 (comedy) out of 24 (total TV show preferences) = \( \frac{18}{24} = 0.75 \) or 75%.

Now we can fill in the sentence:

"Students who prefer TV shows are more likely to prefer comedy because 75% of students who prefer TV shows also prefer comedy while 25% of students who prefer TV shows prefer action instead."
