1 answer

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
