Answer: Choice D)

More members prefer a beach vacation and ski vacation than an adventure vacation.

======================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's go through the four answer choices to see which one is true.

  • Choice A is false because most members prefer a cruise, as 70+72 = 142 is the largest column sum.
  • Choice B is false for the same reasoning as choice A.
  • Choice C is false. We have 6+1 = 7 people who prefer adventure and 19+21 = 40 who prefer to ski, giving 7+40 = 47 people who prefer either. But this is nowhere near 142 we found back in choice A above. So more people prefer a cruise than the combined amount for adventure and ski.
  • Choice D is true. Adding the column totals for "beach" and "ski" gives (5+6)+(19+21) = 11+40 = 51, and this exceeds the column total of "adventure (6+1 = 7).
