To find the joint relative frequency of being male and attending a drama movie, you need to use the formula for joint relative frequency. This formula is given by:

[tex]\[ \text{Joint Relative Frequency} = \frac{\text{Number of occurrences of both events}}{\text{Total number of all events}} \][/tex]

In this problem:

- The number of males who attended a drama movie is 124.
- The total number of attendees (of both genders and both movie types) is 479.

Therefore, the joint relative frequency is calculated by dividing the number of males who attended a drama movie by the total number of attendees:

[tex]\[ \text{Joint Relative Frequency} = \frac{124}{479} \][/tex]

Thus, the correct answer is (A). Divide 124 by 479.

This calculation results in approximately [tex]\(0.2588726513569937\)[/tex].
