Answer 1

Based on the statements provided, the three that likely best describe the box plot or histogram are:

1. Referring to the box plot, the median of the data is 50. (If the median line on the box plot is indeed at 50.)

2. Using the information in the histogram, the number of students that read between 25 and 54 minutes is 14 students. (If the histogram shows that this is the correct count of students in that range.)

3. Referring to the histogram, the median of the data is 49.5. (If the median can be interpreted from the data distribution in the histogram.)

The other statements about the range and total number of students seem incorrect or miscalculated based on the information given.
