Answer 1

As per the results of the survey, 7.7% of adults in the country owning a digital camera and are in process to replace their camera in the coming 12 months.

This means that the survey formed the basis of the above-made deduction that of all the 7.7% adult who owns a camera is planning to replace it. Hence the statement is inferential in its approach.
