Answer 1

To find the difference in the ranges of the hourly wages of the two restaurants, we first need to calculate the range for each restaurant.

The range is calculated as the difference between the highest and lowest values in a dataset.

For Restaurant 1:

• Highest wage: $17.10
• Lowest wage: $14.50

Range for Restaurant 1 = Highest - Lowest = $17.10 - $14.50 = $2.60

For Restaurant 2:

• Highest wage: $18.15
• Lowest wage: $14.99

Range for Restaurant 2 = Highest - Lowest = $18.15 - $14.99 = $3.16

Now we find the difference in the ranges: Difference = Range of Restaurant 2 - Range of Restaurant 1 = $3.16 - $2.60 = $0.56

Therefore, the difference in the ranges of the hourly wages of these two restaurants is $0.56.
