Da following data sets represent da highway fuel efficiency in milers per gallon ( mpg ) of randomly selected cars from 2 car companies. which company has cars dat r more consistent in highway fuel effiency?

Question

Car company A: 35, 38, 35, 30 31, 36, 35, 30
Car company B: 29, 33, 40, 27, 34, 34, 25

A ) Car company B is more consistent bc da range of highway fuel effeicny of its car s lower Dan dat of car company A

B ) Car company A is moe consistent bc da range of highway fuel effencit of its cars is higher Dan dat of car company B

C ) Car company A is more consistent, bc da range highway fewl effeicny of its car is lower Dan dat car company B

D ) Car both companies have euall consisiten highway fuel effeiency

Answer 1

To determine which company has cars that are more consistent in highway fuel efficiency, we can look at the range of highway fuel efficiency for both car companies.

1. Car company A:

   • Data: 35, 38, 35, 30, 31, 36, 35, 30
   • Minimum: 30
   • Maximum: 38
   • Range: 38 - 30 = 8

2. Car company B:

   • Data: 29, 33, 40, 27, 34, 34, 25
   • Minimum: 25
   • Maximum: 40
   • Range: 40 - 25 = 15

Now, comparing the ranges:

• Car company A has a range of 8.
• Car company B has a range of 15.

Since a lower range indicates more consistency, Car company A is more consistent because its range of highway fuel efficiency is lower than that of Car company B.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

C) Car company A is more consistent, bc da range highway fewl effeicny of its car is lower Dan dat car company B.
