81

13

18

94

24

68

21

95


Which set has a wider spread, and what is the range? 

Set 1 has a wider spread and has a range of 3.

Set 1 has a wider spread and has a range of 11.

Set 2 has a wider spread and has a range of 14.

Set 2 has a wider spread and has a range of 27.

Answer 1

Answer:

Set 2 has a wider spread and has range of 27

Explanation:

We are given the below two sets of data:

Set 1             Set 2

17                     81

13                     70

18                     94

24                     68

21                      95

Now, let's find the range of Set 1:

$Range=Maximum-Minimum$

        $=24-13$

        $=11$

Now, let's find the range of Set 2:

$Range= Maximum -Minimum$

        $=95-68$

        $=27$

Since, the Set 2 has more range, therefore, Set 2 has a wider spread and a range of 27  

Answer 2

Answer:

D.  Set 2 has a wider spread and has a range of 27.
