To determine which statement is true based on the histogram data, we would need to analyze the frequency of heartbeats in the specified ranges.
However, since I cannot see the histogram itself, I can guide you on how to evaluate the statements:
1. Count the number of people with heartbeats of 16 or 17 and see if that is around one-third of 144 (which is 48).
2. Count how many people had fewer than 18 heartbeats and see if that constitutes the majority (more than 72 people).
3. Check how many people had more than 25 heartbeats; if that's 36 or fewer (which is one-fourth of 144), then that statement is true.
4. Count how many people had between 13 and 24 heartbeats to determine if it represents the majority.
Evaluate these points against the histogram, and the statement that holds true according to your analysis will be the correct answer.
