Answer: statements 2 and 3.

Work:
- Company A mean = 639/16 = 39.9375; Company B mean = 661/16 = 41.3125 → statement 1 is false.
- Company A median = (40 + 41)/2 = 40.5; Company B median = 43 → statement 2 is true.
- Company A range = 52 − 27 = 25; Company B range = 51 − 29 = 22 → statement 3 is true.
