oatmeal ..............15
grits ................. 10

Which statement is NOT supported by the data in the table?

Answer 1

The provided data can be used to verify statements about children's favorite cereal type. Supported statements align with the data counting the children's choices. Any statement not in line with the data is not supported.

Step-by-step explanation:

The table shows the number of children who chose each type of cereal as a favorite. To determine which statement is NOT supported by the data in the table, we would need to review each statement carefully. Since only the data has been provided, we can point out that any statement claiming a certain cereal is favored by a specific number of children can be validated against the table. Some examples of supported statements based on the provided data could include:

• Oatmeal is favored by 15 children.
• Cold cereal is the most popular, chosen by 20 children.
• Only 2 children chose wheat cereal.

Any statement not aligning with these observations would not be supported by the data. For example, a statement like 'More children prefer wheat cereal over grits' is not supported since only 2 children chose wheat whereas 10 chose grits.
