A survey conducted by telenation/market facts, inc., combined with information from the u.s. census bureau\'s current population reports, yielded the following table. the first two columns provide a percentage distribution of adults by age group; the third column gives the percentage of people in each age group who go to the movies at least once a month-people referred to here as moviegoers. find the percentage of adult moviegoers.
| AGE | % of ADULTS | % MOVIEGOERS |
| 18-24 | 12.7 | 83 |
| 25-34 | 20.7 | 54 |
| 35-44 | 22 | 43 |
| 45-54 | 16.5 | 37 |
| 55-64 | 10.9 | 27 |
| 65 AND OVER | 17.2 | 20 |
Solution
This is a simple combination of two sets viz. adults in each group and the movie goers.
