The correct statement is: statements 1 and 2.

1. The mean age of employees from Company A is higher than the mean age of employees from Company B: This statement is true because the mean age of Company A is 41.3 and the mean age of Company B is 40.25.

2. The median age of employees from Company A is lower than the median age of employees from Company B: This statement is true because the median age of Company A is 41 and the median age of Company B is 40.

3. The range of ages of employees from Company A is higher than the range of ages of employees from Company B: This statement is false because the range of ages of Company A is 25 (52 - 27) and the range of ages of Company B is 22 (51 - 29).
