Explanation:

• Regarding the statement "Fifty percent of adolescents have used alcohol by the end of high school": In reality, a much higher percentage (around 70 - 80%) of adolescents have used alcohol by the end of high school. So this statement is incorrect.
• Regarding the statement "Twenty - five percent of adolescents have tried smoking by the end of high school": The actual percentage of adolescents who have tried smoking by the end of high school is much lower than 25% (closer to 15 - 20% in many studies). So this statement is incorrect.

Answer:

"Fifty percent of adolescents have used alcohol by the end of high school." and "Twenty - five percent of adolescents have tried smoking by the end of high school."
