The table says that ...
-- 37 of the students surveyed have a cell phone and an .mp3 player too.
-- 21 of the students surveyed have a cell phone but no.mp3 player.
-- 13 of the students surveyed have no cell phone but do have an .mp3 player.
-- 9 of the students surveyed have no cell phone and no .mp3 player either.
Think about the boxes in the table for a second.
-- Either you have a cellphone or you don't.
-- Either you have an .mp3 player or you don't.
-- So the same student is never counted in more than 1 box.
-- So the sum of the 4 boxes is the total number of students surveyed.
That's 80.
OK ?
Now, let's check out the choices and see if any are true:
A). "All students that own cellphones also own .mp3 players."
The upper right box in the table says that 21 of the students surveyed
have a cellphone but no .mp3 player.
B). "Less than half of the students own a cellphone."
The top row of the table ... the 37 and the 21 ... are
the students who own cellphones.
They add up to 58 ... more than half of the 80 who were surveyed.
C). "More than half of the students own an .mp3 player."
The left column of the table ... the 37 and the 13 ... are the
students that own an .mp3 player.
They add up to (37 + 13) = 50 ... more than half of the 80.
This choice is true.
D). "Less than 10% of the students do not own either one."
The bottom-right box in the table ... the 9 ... are the students
surveyed who don't own either one.
9 is a little bit more than 11% of the students surveyed.
Choice-C is the only one supported by the numbers in the table.
