The range of Student 1’s math quiz scores is
. The range of Student 2’s math quiz scores is
. Based on the range, Student
performed more consistently on the math quizzes.

Answer 1

To find the range of each student's math quiz scores, we subtract the lowest score from the highest score for each student.

**Student 1's scores:** 75, 80, 84, 79, 92, 86, 88, 86, 86, 90
- Highest score: 92
- Lowest score: 75
- Range: \( 92 - 75 = 17 \)

**Student 2's scores:** 83, 85, 91, 93, 72, 85, 76, 80, 82, 89
- Highest score: 93
- Lowest score: 72
- Range: \( 93 - 72 = 21 \)

Now, summarizing the ranges:
- The range of Student 1’s math quiz scores is **17**.
- The range of Student 2’s math quiz scores is **21**.

To determine which student performed more consistently, we look at the range: a smaller range indicates more consistency in scores.

Based on the range, Student **1** performed more consistently on the math quizzes.
