This is a must-be-true question: inference.

Only E is true becasuse A is less common than HF. Therefore the total number of people who have HF is bigger than that of who have A. Then it is a simple math problem to calculate the percentages for comparison.

Two hundred people have hay fever. One hundred people have asthma. Out of the 100 people who have asthma, 95 of them have hay fever, in other words, 95% of the people who have asthma also have hay fever.

Then out of the 200 people who have hay fever, again 95 of them have asthma. Translation: only 47.5% of the people who have hay fever also have asthma.

Simple math.

假设有A人得了Asthma B人得了hay fever 然后由题干知道0.95A是两种病都得了的。。。那么两种病都得了的人在B占的比例是0.95A/B 然后由题干知道A<B 所以0.95A/B<0.95
