Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Key idea: find the total population of each village by using the number of viewers who watch 3 or more movies and the corresponding percentage.
For village P: 50% watch less than 3 movies, so 50% watch 3 or more. Total = 4250 ÷ 0.50 = 8500.
For village Q: 56% watch less than 3 movies, so 44% watch 3 or more. Total = 3960 ÷ 0.44 = 9000.
For village R: 70% watch less than 3 movies, so 30% watch 3 or more. Total = 3000 ÷ 0.30 = 10000.
For village S: 72% watch less than 3 movies, so 28% watch 3 or more. Total = 4410 ÷ 0.28 = 15750.
Conclusion: the smallest total population is 8,500 (village P). Therefore, the village with the lowest number of people watching movies on television is P.
