To analyze the data from the table:

  • Pineapple lovers:

    • Children: 6
    • Adults: 25
    • Total with pineapple: 31
  • No pineapple lovers:

    • Children: 14
    • Adults: 8
    • Total without pineapple: 22

Let's find out the number of people who responded positively (like pineapple) and negatively (do not like pineapple):

  1. Positive responses (like pineapple):

    • Total positive = Children who like pineapple + Adults who like pineapple = 6 + 25 = 31
  2. Negative responses (do not like pineapple):

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

Now, we can evaluate the statements:

  1. More people overall responded negatively: FALSE (31 positive vs 22 negative).
  2. More children responded positively than adults: FALSE (6 children vs 25 adults).
  3. More adults responded positively than children: TRUE (25 adults vs 6 children).
  4. More children were asked the question than adults: FALSE (20 children vs 33 adults).

The true statement based on the data is: More adults responded positively than children.
