Answer 1

To analyze the table provided:

• Total number of children = 20 (6 who like pineapple + 14 who do not)
• Total number of adults = 33 (25 who like pineapple + 8 who do not)

From the table:

• Children who like pineapple = 6
• Adults who like pineapple = 25

Now, let's evaluate the statements:

1. More children were asked the question than adults.

   • This is false, as there are 20 children and 33 adults.

2. More children responded positively than adults.

   • This is false, as 6 children liked pineapple compared to 25 adults.

3. More adults responded positively than children.

   • This is true because 25 adults liked pineapple versus 6 children.

4. More people overall responded negatively.

   • If we calculate the negatives:

     • Children who do not like pineapple = 14
     • Adults who do not like pineapple = 8
     • Total negative responses = 14 + 8 = 22

     The total positive responses are:

     • Children who like pineapple = 6
     • Adults who like pineapple = 25
     • Total positive responses = 6 + 25 = 31

     Since 31 (positive responses) > 22 (negative responses), this statement is false.

Therefore, the true statement is: More adults responded positively than children.
