The question is:
a study was conducted on the relationship beween vitamin supplementation and the occurrence of asthma among cildren. The investigators found that compared with children who did not take vitamins, children who took vitamins on a daily basis were 0.8 times as likely to develop asthma. This means that children who took vitamins were 80% less likely to develop asthma.
The answer was actually False. I do not understand how. If they are .8 times more likely to remain healthy, aren't they 80% less likely to get it?
