{324, 318, 367, 312, 389, 337}

Answer 1

To find the smallest range among the given data sets, we need to calculate the range for each set. The range is calculated as the difference between the maximum and minimum values in each data set.

1. **Set 1**: {37, 19, 40, 54, 75, 68}
- Maximum = 75
- Minimum = 19
- Range = 75 - 19 = 56

2. **Set 2**: {148, 145, 117, 148, 199, 172}
- Maximum = 199
- Minimum = 117
- Range = 199 - 117 = 82

3. **Set 3**: {50, 30, 10, 0, 80, 100}
- Maximum = 100
- Minimum = 0
- Range = 100 - 0 = 100

4. **Set 4**: {324, 318, 367, 312, 389, 337}
- Maximum = 389
- Minimum = 312
- Range = 389 - 312 = 77

Now we can summarize the ranges:
- Set 1: 56
- Set 2: 82
- Set 3: 100
- Set 4: 77

The set with the smallest range is **Set 1**: {37, 19, 40, 54, 75, 68} with a range of **56**.
