Question

nts found a birch tree than an oak tree. More students found a pine tree than a birch tree. More students found a maple tree than an oak tree.

Answer 1

To evaluate the statements, let's summarize the data provided:

• Birch trees: 17 students
• Pine trees: 79 students
• Maple trees: 14 students
• Oak trees: 1123 students

Now, let's analyze each statement:

1. Over half the students found a pine tree.

   • If we assume that the total number of students who reported trees is \(17 + 79 + 14 + 1123 = 1233\). Half of 1233 is 616.5. Since 79 (students who found pine trees) is much less than 616.5, this statement is False.

2. More students found a maple tree than a pine tree.

   • Pine trees: 79 students, Maple trees: 14 students. Since 79 is greater than 14, this statement is False.

3. More students found a birch tree than an oak tree.

   • Birch trees: 17 students, Oak trees: 1123 students. Since 17 is less than 1123, this statement is False.

4. More students found a pine tree than a birch tree.

   • Pine trees: 79 students, Birch trees: 17 students. Since 79 is greater than 17, this statement is True.

5. More students found a maple tree than an oak tree.

   • Maple trees: 14 students, Oak trees: 1123 students. Since 14 is less than 1123, this statement is False.

So, the results are:

1. False
2. False
3. False
4. True
5. False
