Final answer:
After adding the row totals for those taking one vitamin per day (27.4%) and more than one vitamin per day (49.5%), it is clear that 76.9% of the study participants are taking vitamins, so the statement is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if the statement that more than half of the study participants are taking vitamins is correct, we must look at the row totals for those who take one vitamin per day and those who take more than one vitamin per day. The row total for participants that take one vitamin per day is 27.4%. The row total for those who take more than one vitamin per day is 49.5%. To find the total percentage of participants taking vitamins, we add these two percentages together:
27.4% + 49.5% = 76.9%
Therefore, more than half of the participants in the study are taking vitamins. The correct answer is: Yes, because 27.4% take one vitamin and 49.5% take more than one vitamin, which is a total of 76.9% taking vitamins.
