Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows three rows of data. A vertical line is drawn after the first digit from the left, thereby splitting the rows into a two-column table. The data are as follows: The first row shows digit 6 in the first column and digits 2 2 5 in the second column. The second row shows digit 5 in the first column and digits 3 4 4 8 9 in the second column. The third row shows digit 4 in the first column and digits 1 2 4 in the second column.

To interpret the stem-and-leaf plot based on the data provided:

  • The first row "6 | 2 2 5" represents the values 62, 62, and 65.
  • The second row "5 | 3 4 4 8 9" represents the values 53, 54, 54, 58, and 59.
  • The third row "4 | 1 2 4" represents the values 41, 42, and 44.

Now, let's determine the greatest and least values in the dataset:

  • The greatest value is 65 (from the first row).
  • The least value is 41 (from the third row).

Therefore, the true statement is:

The greatest value in the dataset is 65, and the least value in the dataset is 41.
