Answer & Explanation

Correct answer

1: No · 2: Yes · 3: Yes

Statements 1 and 2 each apply a filter to the rows and then read a property of the survivors; doing the filter correctly is the whole task.

Statement 1: No. The gyms offering a beginner course are Summit (10 walls), Crag House (6 walls), Vertex (8 walls), and Boulder Yard (9 walls). Crag House offers a beginner course but has only 6 walls, which is fewer than 8. One counterexample is enough, so the "every" claim is false. No.

Statement 2: Yes. Apply both filters: a beginner course AND at least 8 walls. Summit (course, 10 walls, $60), Vertex (course, 8 walls, $55), and Boulder Yard (course, 9 walls, $58) survive; Crag House is dropped for having only 6 walls. Among the survivors the fees are $60, $55, $58, and the lowest is $55 (Vertex). Yes.

Statement 3: Yes. The most walls is 12, at Ridgeline, and Ridgeline's beginner-course entry is No. So the gym with the most walls does not offer a beginner course. Yes.

The trap in statement 2 is forgetting the second filter and including Crag House ($50), which would make the lowest fee $50 and the statement read false; the AND-filter removes it. Correct answers: No / Yes / Yes.
