Answer 1

Let's analyze the data provided for each type of tree reported by the classmates:

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

Now we can evaluate each statement:

1. Over half the students found a pine tree.
   True: 79 is greater than half of the total (79 out of 1233 total students).

2. More students found a maple tree than a pine tree.
   False: 14 (maple) is less than 79 (pine).

3. More students found a birch tree than an oak tree.
   False: 17 (birch) is less than 1123 (oak).

4. More students found a pine tree than a birch tree.
   True: 79 (pine) is greater than 17 (birch).

5. More students found a maple tree than an oak tree.
   False: 14 (maple) is less than 1123 (oak).

So, the truth values for the statements are:

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