The range of Set 1 is .

The range of Set 2 is .

has a wider spread.

Answer 1

To find the range of each set, we need to subtract the minimum value from the maximum value in each set.

Set 1: 22, 34, 43, 25, 56

• Minimum = 22
• Maximum = 56
• Range = Maximum - Minimum = 56 - 22 = 34

Set 2: 12, 51, 23, 37, 8

• Minimum = 8
• Maximum = 51
• Range = Maximum - Minimum = 51 - 8 = 43

Now, we can summarize the findings:

• The range of Set 1 is 34.
• The range of Set 2 is 43.

Therefore, Set 2 has a wider spread.
