The frequency table states the number of times each color was chosen.

• The color chosen most times was Blue, which was chosen 30 times, thus, option a is incorrect.
• 15 students chose red, 30 chose blue, thus, twice as many chose blue, and option b is correct.
• Green was chosen by the least number of students, thus, option c is incorrect.
• The total number of responses was of 15 + 30 + 8 + 12 + 25 = 90, thus, option d is incorrect.
• The combined number of green and yellow is of 8 + 12 = 20, which is less than the 25 which chose purple, thus, option e is incorrect.
