Final answer:

For the message "The maximum out-of-network cost is $1000." to be printed, the value of out_of_network must be True and cost must be greater than $1000, like in the example where out_of_network is True and cost is 1500.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine which values for out_of_network and cost would result in the message "The maximum out-of-network cost is $1000." being printed, we must analyze the given conditional statements. According to the first condition, for this specific message to be printed, two criteria must be met:

  1. The variable out_of_network must be True.
  2. The variable cost must be greater than $1000.

Therefore, an example of suitable values that would result in the desired output message would be out_of_network = True and cost = 1500. It is essential to note that the cost must strictly be greater than $1000, as the condition uses a 'greater than' operator, rather than 'greater than or equal to'. This means that a cost exactly equal to $1000 would not trigger the statement.
