Answer 1

Let's analyze the data provided:

- Blue Jay: 18
- Finch: 67
- Blackbird: 13
- Owl: 1124

Now, we'll evaluate each statement:

1. **Over half the students found a finch.**
- Total students reporting: \(18 + 67 + 13 + 1124 = 1222\)
- Half of 1222 is \(611\). Since \(67\) is not greater than \(611\), this statement is **False**.

2. **More students found a blackbird than a finch.**
- Blackbird: 13, Finch: 67.
- \(13 < 67\), so this statement is **False**.

3. **More students found a blue jay than an owl.**
- Blue Jay: 18, Owl: 1124.
- \(18 < 1124\), so this statement is **False**.

4. **More students found a finch than a blackbird.**
- Finch: 67, Blackbird: 13.
- \(67 > 13\), so this statement is **True**.

5. **More students found a blackbird than an owl.**
- Blackbird: 13, Owl: 1124.
- \(13 < 1124\), so this statement is **False**.

**Summary of the Truth Values:**
1. Over half the students found a finch. - **False**
2. More students found a blackbird than a finch. - **False**
3. More students found a blue jay than an owl. - **False**
4. More students found a finch than a blackbird. - **True**
5. More students found a blackbird than an owl. - **False**
