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”?

ExplanationShow

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 “never” and $53$ people responded “almost never.” Therefore, $29 + 53$ , or $82$ , people responded either “never” or “almost never.”

Choice A is incorrect. This is the difference between the number of people who responded “almost never” and the number of people who responded “never.”

Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of people who responded “almost never” but doesn't include those who responded “never.”

Choice D is incorrect. This is the number of people who responded something other than “never” or “almost never,” rather than the number of people who responded either “never” or “almost never.”
