Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

After a survey you have the following pieces of information:

1) People who use calorie information to decide what food they'll consume eats on average 100 calories less than people who don't check the calorie information.

2) People that check the calorie information before eating weight more, on average, than those who don't.

Using this information you have to choose one of the given statements to explain it:

1. Some fewer people check calorie information before eating than people who don’t check calorie information before eating.

No, the given information doesn't give an account of the number of people that check/don't check the calorie information before eating.

2. People who usually check calorie information before eating consume more calories if they stop checking.

No, the first piece of information says that people that check the calorie information eat less than those who don't.

3. Some people who check calorie information before eating don’t consume any fewer calories than they would if they didn’t check.

No, for the same reason as the previous one.

4. People with a weight problem are most likely to check calorie information before eating.

Yes, considering the given information you could conclude, arbitrarily, that those with overweight control the calories they consume more than people that have no weight problems.

I hope this helps!
