If you look at the percents for the female categories, action is not the highest. The highest category is Comedy. If you have to make a prediction, it would be best to go with Comedy because it is the highest.

Answer:

No. Comedy is the women's best genre followed closely by Drama.

Step-by-step explanation:

When it comes to relative frequencies, we have to consider that relative to the absolute quantity, in other words in percent (%) of the total.

If a randomly selected female participant is chosen, according to our data, action movie is the one prefered by only 0.25 i.e. (25%) or 1 out of 4 women would pick action movie, as their favorite genre.

Looking at the graph 39.2% of the women chose Comedy as their favorite, followed by Drama with 32.5% of the female respondents.
