Correct Answer: false
Explanation:
The first two statements indicate there are more yellow jelly beans than red and green.
Correct Answer: true
Explanation:
Of the three, the drugstore has the best selection of postcards.
Correct Answer: false
Explanation:
This is the order of the cars from left to right: minivan, pickup, sedan, sport utility vehicle.
Correct Answer: uncertain
Explanation:
Cloudy days are the most windy, but there is not enough information to compare the wind on the foggy days with the wind on the sunny days.
Correct Answer: uncertain
Explanation:
Both the car and the train are quicker than the bus, but there is no way to make a comparison between the train and the car.
Correct Answer: II only
Explanation:
Since one-half of the four children are girls, two must be boys. It is not clear which children have blue or brown eyes.
Correct Answer: III only
Correct Answer: II and III only
Explanation:
The first statement cannot be true because only female birds lay eggs. Statement II is true because some hens are chickens and all chickens are birds. Statement III is also true because if only some chickens are hens, then some must not be hens.
Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
All baseball caps have brims, since baseball caps are hats (Fact 3) and all hats have brims (Fact 1). This rules out statement III, but it doesn't follow that all caps, a category that may include caps that are not baseball caps, have brims (statement I). Statement II cannot be confirmed, either, since it is possible, given the information, that all baseball caps are black.
Correct Answer: None of the statements is a known fact.
Explanation:
There is no information in the facts to support statements I or II. Statement III is clearly wrong because, according to Fact 1, no frames cost less than $35.
