Cartoons win every round but the fourth and there it's close.

Answer: D

[tex] \begin{matrix} \textrm{Sample#} & \textrm{News} & \textrm{Music} & \textrm{Movies} & \textrm{Cartoons} & \textrm{Total} \\ 1 & 2 & 12 & 6 &30 &50 \\ 2 &3& 10& 5& 32& 50 \\ 3& 5 &13& 7& 25 &50 \\ 4& 6 &19& 8& 17& 50\\ \end{matrix} [/tex]

We see in the first sample of fifty, 30 students preferred cartoons, more than any of the others. Similarly in the second sample, 32 preferred cartoons, in the third 25 did and in the fourth 17 did. Even without adding them up it's clear that that's way more than any of the other columns.

umm i think that answer to the question is C.movies
