Answer 1

To determine if the statements are true or false, we need to compare the number of students who reported finding each type of tree:

• Birch tree: 17
• Pine tree: 79
• Maple tree: 14
• Oak tree: 1123

Now we'll analyze each statement based on this data:

1. Over half the students found a pine tree.

   • 79 students found a pine tree. Since there are 17 (birch) + 79 (pine) + 14 (maple) + 1123 (oak) = 1233 total students, half would be 616. 79 is not over half of 1233.
   • Answer: False

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

   • 14 (maple) vs 79 (pine). Clearly, more students reported finding a pine tree.
   • Answer: False

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

   • 17 (birch) vs 1123 (oak). More students reported finding an oak tree.
   • Answer: False

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

   • 79 (pine) vs 17 (birch). More students reported finding a pine tree.
   • Answer: True

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

   • 14 (maple) vs 1123 (oak). More students reported finding an oak tree.
   • Answer: False

Final verdict:

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