1.
- with the lowest capacity (Loch Ness Monster) = metal
- with the highest capacity (Boulder Dash) = wooden
Hence, this statement is not true.
2.
The range in max vert angle (a) = 81-45 = 36
s > a. Hence, this statement is true.
3.
Height of wooden roller coaster = 181 (El Toro), 118 (Ghost Rider), 110 (Boulder Dash), 85 (Cyclone)
El Toro has a height greater than 130.
Hence, this statement is not true.

1. The question asks us to check whether the following statements are true or false.
2. Both the roller coaster with the lowest capacity and the roller coaster with the highest capacity are metal roller coasters. Boulder Dash has the highest capacity - 1800 - however, it is wooden. So, this statement is false.
3. The range in top speed (in miles per hour) is greater than the range in maximum vertical angle (in degrees). The range for top speed is 95 - 55 = 40 and the range for maximum vertical angle is 81 - 45 = 36. 40 > 36. So, this statement is true.
4. No wooden roller coaster has a height greater than the median of all of the roller coasters. The median height for all the roller coasters is 130. El Toro is wooden and has a height of 181 (>130). So, this statement is false.
