Looks right to me.
Explanation:
The force required to overcome friction and begin motion is given by:
where
You are given a mass, which means that the normal force can be found. This is because the normal force is equivalent to the weight of the box. I will use
We need
I guess this range is due to the fact that there are different types of wood and whether or not the floor is sanded could impact friction. But either way, let's just use the low and high values to see the range of forces required.
