1. Voters are more likely to participate in a presidential election than in a primary.
- Florida: Primary: 12.8%, General: 63.5%
- Michigan: Primary: 16.5%, General: 64.7%
- New York: Primary: 1.4%, General: 53.1%
- California: Primary: 22.9%, General: 55.2%
- Texas: Primary: 12.8%, General: 49.7%

For each state, the percentage of Republican voters in the General Election is higher than in the Primary:
- In Florida, 63.5% > 12.8%
- In Michigan, 64.7% > 16.5%
- In New York, 53.1% > 1.4%
- In California, 55.2% > 22.9%

The data support the conclusion that voters are more likely to participate in a presidential election than in a primary across all listed states. (True)

2. Texas and Florida have the same number of Republican voters in the Primary.
- Florida: Primary: 12.8%
- Texas: Primary: 12.8%

Both Texas and Florida have 12.8% of Republican voters participating in the Primary. Thus, they have the same percentage. (True)

3. Voters are more likely to participate in a primary than in a presidential election.
- We have already determined in the first statement that for all states, the percentage of voters participating in the General Election is higher than in the Primary. Therefore, this statement is not supported by the data. (False)

4. California has more Republicans than New York in the Primary.
- California: Primary: 22.9%

California has a higher percentage of Republican voters in the Primary (22.9%) compared to New York (1.4%). Thus, this statement is supported by the data. (True)
