The table illustrates the proportion and frequency of cinema visits in Australia between 1996 and 2000. The line graph shows the number of Australia people who went to the cinema in four distinct age groups in the same timeframe.
Overall, regarding the attendance rate and frequency of visits, the largest number of Australian customers was recorded in 1997. It is also important to note that the percentage and average visits of cinemagoers stayed relatively the same throughout the period. Additionally, individuals aged 14-24 went to the cinema most often, while the opposite was seen for those that were 50 years old or more.
In terms of the table, 62% of the Australian population watched films at the cinema in 1996, after which the data climbed to 72% in the next two years. In 1999, the proportion of people going to the cinema negligibly declined by 2% before turning back to 72% towards the end of the period. Concerning the attendance, cinema customers in Australia initially averaged 10.3 visits, and then the data rose to its peak at 11.1 visits in 1997. After a year, the frequency of cinema visits then fell to 8.3 visits. For the latter half of the period, the number of visits remained relatively stable at 8.3 visits, despite experiencing a slight fall to 8.2 visits in 1999.
As regards the line graph, it is important to note that Australians from all age groups followed the same trend. All individuals aged 14 to 50+ saw an increase from 1996 to 1997 and from 1998 to 1999, with the differences between each age group maintained at around 2 cinemagoers. In the beginning, Australians aged 14-24 went to the cinema more than those that aged 25-35, 35-49 and 50+, with respective figures being 15 people, 14 people, 13 people and 10 people. In 2000, each age groups increased by approximately 3 customers, while maintaining the differences between each group (2 customers).
