The correct observation is: It is more than the number of students who prefer bike racing and reading combined.
In Sample 1, there are 40 students who prefer canoeing, 35 students who prefer bike racing, and 25 students who prefer reading. Adding the number of students who prefer bike racing and reading (35 + 25) gives a total of 60 students, which is less than the 40 students who prefer canoeing.
The following table shows the data collected from 2 random samples of 100 students each from an after-school club regarding their favorite outdoor activity:
