Official Explanation
There were___________comedy movies released in 2011 as/than there were Sci-Fi, Indie, and Horror movies combined.
Explanation
First, you need to find out what percentage of movie releases were comedies; the graph shows that 32% of the movies released in 2011 were comedies. Next, you need to find what percentage of movie releases were Sci-Fi, Indie, or Horror; the graph shows that 16% (Horror) + 10% (Sci-Fi) + 5% (Indie)= 31% of the movies released in 2011 were Sci-Fi, Indie, or Horror. Thus, the genre of comedy experienced more releases in 2011 than did the genres of Sci-Fi, Indie, and Horror combined.
Answer: A
In 2011, approximately___________comedies were released than the average number of movies released by the two lowest-ranking sectors.
Explanation
First, identify the number of comedies released. The chart shows that 565,725 total movies were released in all sectors. Therefore, the number of comedies released is (0.32)(565,725) = 181,032. Next, find the average number of movies released by the two lowest-ranking sectors, Crime and Indie. The number of Crime movies released is approximately (0.07)(565,725) = 39,601 and the number of Indie movies released is approximately (0.05)(565,725) = 28,286. Now, you can find the average of the Crime and Indie movies to be 33,944.
Finally, determine the difference between the Comedies released and the average number of Indie and Crime releases. Thus, 181,032 – 33,944 = 147,088. Therefore, in 2011, 147,088 more comedies were released than the average number of movies released by the two lowest-ranking sectors.
