Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate number of bags with less than 13 candy - bars

From the dot - plot, number of bags with 10 candy - bars is 1, with 11 candy - bars is 2, and with 12 candy - bars is 2. So total number of bags with less than 13 candy - bars is (1 + 2+2=5). Proportion is (\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}\neq\frac{2}{3}), so statement A is false.

Step2: Calculate number of bags with 13 candy - bars

Number of bags with 13 candy - bars is 5. Proportion is (\frac{5}{15}=\frac{1}{3}\neq0.25), so statement B is false.

Step3: Calculate number of bags with 10 or 11 candy - bars

Number of bags with 10 candy - bars is 1 and with 11 candy - bars is 2. Total is (1 + 2 = 3). Proportion is (\frac{3}{15}=0.2 = 20%), so statement C is true.

Step4: Calculate number of bags with more than 10 candy - bars

Total number of bags is 15. Number of bags with 10 candy - bars is 1. So number of bags with more than 10 candy - bars is (15−1 = 14). Proportion is (\frac{14}{15}\neq0.9), so statement D is false.

Step5: Calculate number of bags with 11, 12, or 13 candy - bars

Number of bags with 11 candy - bars is 2, with 12 candy - bars is 2, and with 13 candy - bars is 5. Total is (2 + 2+5 = 9). Proportion is (\frac{9}{15}=0.6\neq0.5), so statement E is false.

Step6: Check two true statements

Since statement C is true, we need to find another true statement. But none of the other statements are true. However, if we assume the question is asking for the most reasonable two statements in terms of closest - to - correct values, we note that: For statement C, (\frac{3}{15}=20%) which is exactly correct. For statement E, (\frac{9}{15}=60%) which is closer to (50%) compared to other incorrect statements' deviations.

Answer:

C and E
