Answer 1

Let's analyze the data provided to determine the truth of each statement:

1. **Over half the students found a finch.**
- Total students reporting on different birds: 18 (blue jay) + 67 (finch) + 13 (blackbird) + 1124 (owl) = 1222 students.
- Half of 1222 is 611.
- Since 67 (finch) is far less than 611, this statement is **False**.

2. **More students found a blackbird than a finch.**
- Number who found a blackbird: 13.
- Number who found a finch: 67.
- Since 13 < 67, this statement is **False**.

3. **More students found a blue jay than an owl.**
- Number who found a blue jay: 18.
- Number who found an owl: 1124.
- Since 18 < 1124, this statement is **False**.

4. **More students found a finch than a blackbird.**
- Number who found a finch: 67.
- Number who found a blackbird: 13.
- Since 67 > 13, this statement is **True**.

5. **More students found a blackbird than an owl.**
- Number who found a blackbird: 13.
- Number who found an owl: 1124.
- Since 13 < 1124, this statement is **False**.

### Summary:
- Over half the students found a finch: **False**
- More students found a blackbird than a finch: **False**
- More students found a blue jay than an owl: **False**
- More students found a finch than a blackbird: **True**
- More students found a blackbird than an owl: **False**
