Answer: B. 58.9% and 52.7% are both statistics

Step-by-step explanation:

Statistics apart from referring to a multidisciplinary field of study is also at a basic level referred to as a number or character that is meant to describe data. It gives sense to the data by making it more relatable and understandable and can be used to make relationships in the data.

58.9% and 52.7% help us make sense of the data by telling us how much of the data set exercised for at least 30 minutes for 3 or more days in the past week so they are Statistics.
