Assembly line A has the lower output.
Assembly line A has the lower output.

Assembly line B has the lower output.
Assembly line B has the lower output.

The output is the same for both assembly lines.
The output is the same for both assembly lines.

Sometimes assembly line A has the lower output and sometimes assembly line B has the lower output.

To determine which statement about the assembly lines is true, we would need to know the specific output numbers for each assembly line over the same amount of time. Without the actual data in the tables, we cannot accurately assess the outputs of Assembly Line A and Assembly Line B.

However, here’s how you can analyze the statement once you have that data:

  1. Compare Outputs: Look at the number of toasters produced by Assembly Line A and Assembly Line B for the same time intervals.
  2. Identify Patterns:
    • If Assembly Line A consistently produces fewer toasters than Assembly Line B at all times, then "Assembly line A has the lower output" is true.
    • If Assembly Line B consistently produces fewer toasters than Assembly Line A at all times, then "Assembly line B has the lower output" is true.
    • If both lines produce the same amount over the same time intervals, then "The output is the same for both assembly lines" is true.
    • If one line has higher output at some intervals and lower at others, then "Sometimes assembly line A has the lower output and sometimes assembly line B has the lower output" is true.

Without the necessary data, we cannot determine which statement is valid. Check the tables to see the outputs directly for a conclusion.
