Not enough information
To determine if the statement is true, false, or does not contain enough information, we can use the given information about the median and range of magazine appearances.
The median is the middle value in a set of data, so if there are 777 models and the median is 555, it means that there are an equal number of models with appearances less than 555 and more than 555.
The range is the difference between the highest and lowest values in a set of data. If the range of appearances is 555, it means that the highest number of appearances minus the lowest number of appearances is equal to 555.
Based on this information, we can say that there is at least one model with more than 555 magazine appearances (since the range is 555), but we cannot determine if any of the models have more than 999 magazine appearances. So the statement "At least one of the models made more than 999 magazine appearances" does not contain enough information.
Therefore, the answer is (Choice C) Not enough information.
