Question

A survey asked men and women whether they preferred documentaries or dramas when watching television. The results are in the table. How many men were surveyed?

A. 51 men
B. 50 men
C. 101 men
D. 57 men

Answer 1

To find the total number of men surveyed, we need to add the number of men who preferred documentaries and the number of men who preferred dramas.

From the information provided:

• Male participants who preferred documentaries: 35
• Male participants who preferred dramas: 15

Now we can calculate the total number of men surveyed:

Total men = Men who prefer documentaries + Men who prefer dramas
Total men = 35 + 15 = 50

Therefore, the answer is:

B. 50 men
