Explanation:

Answer 2

To answer this question, we need to compare the number of men and women who like playing golf to the number of men and women who like running.

There are 14 men who like playing golf and 2 men who like running, so the ratio of men who like playing golf to men who like running is:

14 men / 2 men = 7 men who like playing golf for every man who likes running

There are 6 women who like playing golf and 18 women who like running, so the ratio of women who like playing golf to women who like running is:

6 women / 18 women = 1/3 or 0.333 women who like playing golf for every woman who likes running

Therefore, the correct statement is:

C. For every woman who likes running, 7 women like playing golf.
