The relationship cannot be determined based on the given information.

The quantity in survey A is greater.

Answer 1

To determine the relationship between the quantities in Survey A and Survey B based on cost and variability, we need more specific information about the total number of words or the total budget for each survey option. The costs per word and the variability alone do not provide enough context to compare the quantities directly.

Given the current information, we can conclude:

• Survey A costs $0.50 per word with a variability of 0.04.
• Survey B costs $0.60 per word with a variability of 0.06.

Without knowing the budget or the context behind how many words will be used in each survey, we cannot ascertain if the quantity of Survey A is greater, equal to, or less than that of Survey B.

Therefore, the true statement is:

The relationship cannot be determined based on the given information.
