Statement 1: To find the mean age of employees from each school, we sum up all the ages and divide by the number of employees.
For School A: (33 + 28 + 36 + 27 + 45 + 23 + 30 + 42 + 48 + 50) / 10 = 34.2
For School B: (27 + 26 + 48 + 51 + 49 + 37 + 33 + 35 + 52 + 40) / 10 = 38.8
The mean age of employees from School A (34.2) is lower than the mean age of employees from School B (38.8), so Statement 1 is false.
Statement 2: To find the median age of employees from each school, we arrange the ages in ascending order and find the middle value.
For School A: 23, 27, 28, 30, 33, 36, 42, 45, 48, 50 - Median = 33
For School B: 26, 27, 33, 35, 37, 40, 48, 49, 51, 52 - Median = 38
The median age of employees from School A (33) is lower than the median age of employees from School B (38), so Statement 2 is true.
Statement 3: To find the range of ages of employees from each school, we subtract the lowest age from the highest age.
For School A: 50 - 23 = 27
For School B: 52 - 26 = 26
The range of ages of employees from School A (27) is higher than the range of ages of employees from School B (26), so Statement 3 is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is C.
The ages of randomly selected teacher at two schools are recorded. Their ages are as follows.
School A: 33, 28, 36, 27, 45, 23, 30, 42, 48, 50
School B: 27, 26, 48, 51, 49, 37, 33, 35, 52, 40
Which of the following statements is true?
1. The mean age of employees from School A is higher than the mean age of employees from School B.
2. The median age of employees from School A is lower than the median
age of employees from School B.
3. The range of ages of employees from School B is higher than the range of ages of employees from School A.

Please make your response more simple
Statement 1: The mean (average) age of employees from School A is 34.2, which is lower than the mean age of employees from School B, which is 38.8. Therefore, Statement 1 is false.
Statement 2: The median age of employees from School A is 33, which is lower than the median age of employees from School B, which is 38. Therefore, Statement 2 is true.
Statement 3: The range (difference between the highest and lowest age) of ages of employees from School A is 27, which is higher than the range of ages of employees from School B, which is 26. Therefore, Statement 3 is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (Statements 1 and 2).
Statement 2: The median age of employees from School A is 33, which is lower than the median age of employees from School B, which is 38. Therefore, Statement 2 is true.
Statement 3: The range (difference between the highest and lowest age) of ages of employees from School A is 27, which is higher than the range of ages of employees from School B, which is 26. Therefore, Statement 3 is false.
Therefore, the correct answer is C (Statements 1 and 2).
