Let's analyze each statement using the given information:
1. Eastern Orthodox is widely practiced in Eastern Europe:
- The total Eastern Orthodox population in Eastern Europe is:
[tex]\[
106,445,473 (\text{Russia}) + 34,862,521 (\text{Ukraine}) + 18,726,322 (\text{Romania}) + 11,080,059 (\text{Greece}) = 171,114,375
\][/tex]
- The high percentages within Eastern European countries (75%, 76%, 88%, 98%) suggest that Eastern Orthodox is indeed widely practiced in this region.
2. Eastern Orthodox is widely practiced throughout Africa:
- The chart shows only Ethiopia from Africa with Eastern Orthodox followers:
[tex]\[
34,461,135 (\text{Ethiopia})
\][/tex]
- The percentage here is 44%, indicating that while Eastern Orthodoxy is practiced in Ethiopia, it does not necessarily imply it is widely practiced throughout the entire continent of Africa.
3. Per capita, Romania has the greatest number of Eastern Orthodox followers:
- Romania's Eastern Orthodox population is 18,726,322.
- To find the percentage among the total Eastern Orthodox population in Eastern Europe:
[tex]\[
\left( \frac{18,726,322}{171,114,375} \right) \times 100 \approx 10.94\%
\][/tex]
- With a value of approximately 10.94%, Romania does not have the highest percentage of the total Eastern Orthodox population in Eastern Europe, although the percentage might still be significant in terms of its national population.
4. Ukraine has fewer Eastern Orthodox followers than Ethiopia:
- Based on the data:
[tex]\[
34,862,521 (\text{Ukraine}) \quad \text{and} \quad 34,461,135 (\text{Ethiopia})
