To answer the questions, we need to analyze the data provided in the table, which appears to be missing from your prompt. However, I can guide you on how to approach answering the questions based on such tables.

For Question 1, you would typically follow these steps for each query:

  1. Determine the numbers from the table for each food category mentioned.
    • For "chicken nuggets or hot dogs," add the number of students who chose chicken nuggets and the number who chose hot dogs.
    • Repeat this for each pair of food items (spaghetti or tacos, chicken nuggets or pizza, etc.) based on the provided data.

Here’s the general form you would follow for calculations:

  • Chicken nuggets or hot dogs = (number of chicken nugget votes) + (number of hot dog votes)
  • Spaghetti or tacos = (number of spaghetti votes) + (number of taco votes)
  • Chicken nuggets or pizza = (number of chicken nugget votes) + (number of pizza votes)
  • Hamburgers or hot dogs = (number of hamburger votes) + (number of hot dog votes)
  • Pizza or spaghetti = (number of pizza votes) + (number of spaghetti votes)

For Question 2, you would evaluate which statement is most accurately reflected in the data provided in the table. You will compare the numbers derived in Question 1 to determine which inference has the most supporting evidence from the survey results.

For example:

  • If the total votes for chicken nuggets and hot dogs is less than for spaghetti and tacos, the first statement is supported.
  • If pizza votes exceed those for chicken nuggets and spaghetti, the second statement is supported, and so on.

Please provide the actual numbers from the table so I can help you compute and evaluate the answers for both questions accurately.
