Answer 2

Answer: 75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given table : super hero     sci fi    comedy  drama     romance

                                63                 24        34        20     17

From the table, the number of people prefer comedy movie = 34

The total number of people surveyed : $63+24+34+20+17=158$

Now, the probability of people preferring comedy movie is given by :-

$\dfrac{\text{Number of comedy movies}}{\text{Total movies}}\\\\=\dfrac{34}{158}$

Based on these results, if 350 people are asked about their favorite movie genres, the number of people will prefer comedy movie is given by :-

$\dfrac{34}{158}\times350=75.3164556962\approx75$

Hence, 75 persons will prefer comedy movies.
