How are the numbers in each advertisement compared? Which advertisement is most effective? Explain.

To compare the numbers in each advertisement, let's analyze the given information:

1. "2/3 people surveyed preferred super-popper popcorn"
This statement suggests that out of the total number of people surveyed, 2 out of 3 preferred super-popper popcorn. It does not provide the actual number of people surveyed.

2. "7036/10554 people surveyed preferred super-popper popcorn"
This statement gives us the specific number of people surveyed who preferred super-popper popcorn. Out of the total 10,554 people surveyed, 7,036 prefer super-popper popcorn.

3. "Twice as many people surveyed preferred super-popper popcorn"
This statement indicates that the number of people who prefer super-popper popcorn is double the number who prefer something else. However, it does not provide the actual numbers or the total number of people surveyed.

4. "3518 more people preferred super-popper popcorn"
This statement gives us the difference between the number of people who prefer super-popper popcorn and those who prefer something else. However, it does not provide the actual numbers or the total number of people surveyed.

Now, let's evaluate which advertisement is most effective based on the given information:

The second advertisement is the most effective as it provides concrete numbers and a clear context. It states that out of 10,554 people surveyed, 7,036 prefer super-popper popcorn. This information allows us to understand the specific proportion of people who preferred super-popper popcorn among the total surveyed.

The other statements (1, 3, and 4) lack the necessary details to determine the effectiveness of the advertisements. Without specific numbers or the total sample size, it is difficult to make a definitive comparison.

Therefore, the second advertisement, which provides the actual numbers and the sample size, is the most effective for understanding people's preferences for super-popper popcorn.
