• The median of the average weekend visitor numbers is smaller than the median of the average weekday visitor numbers.
The median is the average of the fourth and fifth values after sorting. For average weekday visitors, these are 1,300 and 1,400. Since all figures are rounded down to the nearest hundred, the smallest possible median would be the average of 1,300 and 1,400, which is 1,350. The largest possible median would be the average of 1,399 and 1,499, which is 1,449. Therefore, the true weekday median lies between 1,350 and 1,449.
For average weekend visitors, the fourth and fifth values are both 1,400. Because each could represent a true value anywhere from 1,400 to 1,499, the true weekend median lies between 1,400 and 1,499.
Since these two ranges overlap, we cannot verify that the weekend median is smaller than the weekday median.
Answer: Not necessarily true
• The branch with the highest record single-day visitor number has at least 75 percent more visitors than the branch with the lowest such number.
The highest record single-day visitor number is 4200 (Elm and Fir), and the lowest is shown as 2300 (Dogwood). Because the numbers are rounded down to the nearest hundred, the true highest could be as low as 4200, while the true lowest could be as high as 2399. To get the lowest possible difference, we take the smallest possible value of the highest (4200) and the largest possible value of the lowest (2399). Using these gives 4200/2399, which is slightly more than 1.75. This means the highest branch has at least 75% more visitors than the lowest.
Answer: True
• The four branches with the least average weekday visitor numbers are the same four branches with the least average weekend visitor numbers.
The lowest weekday values are Dogwood, Holly, Grove, and Ash. The lowest weekend values are Dogwood, Holly, and two of the 1400 group (Ash, Cedar, or Grove). Because rounding down could shift which of the 1400 branches is actually lower, the sets may not match exactly.
Answer: Not necessarily true

i got a little confused with the not necessarily true & true but i believe these are the answers:
1. not necessarily true: median of average weekdays will be- (1300+1400)/ 2 whereas weekend would be 1400. so it's not smaller.
2. this is true since (4200-2300)/2300 is ~ 82%
3. weekday- A, D, G, H but for weekend we have- D,H (for sure) but could be any 2 of (A, G, C) since all 3 are 1400. So, not necessarily true
