Question
The randomly selected delivery times, in minutes, of two restaurants are as follows. Which restaurant has more consistent delivery times?

Restaurant 1 Restaurant 2
40 42
37 38
40 37
41 39
38 38
46 40
41 42
37 41
40 40

Answer 1

To determine which restaurant has more consistent delivery times, we can calculate the range for each restaurant.

For Restaurant 1:
Range = 46 - 37 = 9 minutes

For Restaurant 2:
Range = 42 - 37 = 5 minutes

Since the range for Restaurant 2 is smaller, it can be concluded that Restaurant 2 has more consistent delivery times.
