To provide a valid claim based on the graph regarding the time spent studying for a math mid-term exam, we would need to analyze the number of hours each student spent studying. However, since I can't actually see the graph, I can guide you on how to determine which statement may be valid if you compare the actual study hours represented.

Here’s how you would analyze each claim:

  1. Marie finds math easier than the other students. - This cannot be determined solely based on the data provided in the graph regarding study time, as study hours do not directly correlate to ease of understanding the material.

  2. Marie had another test to study for the same night. - Similar to the first claim, this cannot be determined without additional context or information from the graph that shows why she may have studied less.

  3. Evan received the highest score on the exam. - This claim cannot be determined from just study hours; performance on the exam needs to be indicated in the graph.

  4. Evan studied twice as long as Ted. - If the graph shows Evan's study time as twice that of Ted’s, then this claim would be valid.

To choose the correct answer, check the study hours for Evan and Ted on the graph. If Evan's hours are indeed double Ted's, then option 4 is your valid claim. If not, then none of the claims can be confirmed as valid based on the data given.
