Let’s analyze the data presented in the table:

  • Total number of children who like pineapple: 6 (Children)
  • Total number of adults who like pineapple: 25 (Adults)

Total who like pineapple (positive responses) = 6 + 25 = 31

  • Total number of children who do not like pineapple: 14 (Children)
  • Total number of adults who do not like pineapple: 8 (Adults)

Total who do not like pineapple (negative responses) = 14 + 8 = 22

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

  1. More children were asked the question than adults.

    • Children: 20 (Total)
    • Adults: 33 (Total)
    • This statement is false.
  2. More people overall responded negatively.

    • Negative responses: 22
    • Positive responses: 31
    • This statement is false.
  3. More children responded positively than adults.

    • Positive responses from children: 6
    • Positive responses from adults: 25
    • This statement is false.
  4. More adults responded positively than children.

    • Positive responses from children: 6
    • Positive responses from adults: 25
    • This statement is true.

Based on the analysis, the true statement is:

More adults responded positively than children.
