Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the histogram

From the histogram, we can see the number of people in each age - range who bought the cell - phone. The age - ranges are 20 - 30, 30 - 40, 40 - 50, 50 - 60.

Step2: Check each statement

• The number of people in the 20 - 30 age - range is the largest among the groups shown in the histogram.
• The number of people in the 50 - 60 age - range is the smallest.
• We cannot say that seven people age 25 bought the cell - phone as the histogram shows age - ranges, not individual ages.
• We cannot say that five people age 30 bought the cell - phone as the histogram shows age - ranges, not individual ages.

Answer:

The largest group of consumers are people ages 20 - 30. The smallest group of consumers are people ages 50 - 60.
