Question

Response Frequency Once a week or more 3 Two or three times a month 16 About once a month 26 A few times a year 73 Almost never 53 Never 29 Total 200 The table gives the results of a survey of 200 people who were asked how often they see a movie in a theater. How many people responded either never or almost never?

Accepted Answer

Choice C is correct. The table gives the results of 200 people who were asked how often they see a movie in a theater. The table shows that 29 people responded &ldquo;never&rdquo; and 53 people responded &ldquo;almost never.&rdquo; Therefore, 29 + 53 , or 82 , people responded either &ldquo;never&rdquo; or &ldquo;almost never.&rdquo; Choice A is incorrect. This is the difference between the number of people who responded &ldquo;almost never&rdquo; and the number of people who responded &ldquo;never.&rdquo; Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of people who responded &ldquo;almost never&rdquo; but doesn't include those who responded &ldquo;never.&rdquo; Choice D is incorrect. This is the number of people who responded something other than &ldquo;never&rdquo; or &ldquo;almost never,&rdquo; rather than the number of people who responded either &ldquo;never&rdquo; or &ldquo;almost never.&rdquo;
