are you sure?
I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let me calculate the ranges correctly:
For Europe:
The maximum speed is 111 mph (stem 11 | leaf 1)
The minimum speed is 74 mph (stem 7 | leaf 4)
Range = Maximum speed - Minimum speed
Range = 111 - 74
Range = 37 mph
For North America:
The maximum speed is 128 mph
The minimum speed is 85 mph
Range = Maximum speed - Minimum speed
Range = 128 - 85
Range = 43 mph
Therefore, the correct ranges are:
- The range of the speeds of the fastest steel roller coasters in Europe is 37 mph.
- The range of the speeds of the fastest steel roller coasters in North America is 43 mph.
For Europe:
The maximum speed is 111 mph (stem 11 | leaf 1)
The minimum speed is 74 mph (stem 7 | leaf 4)
Range = Maximum speed - Minimum speed
Range = 111 - 74
Range = 37 mph
For North America:
The maximum speed is 128 mph
The minimum speed is 85 mph
Range = Maximum speed - Minimum speed
Range = 128 - 85
Range = 43 mph
Therefore, the correct ranges are:
- The range of the speeds of the fastest steel roller coasters in Europe is 37 mph.
- The range of the speeds of the fastest steel roller coasters in North America is 43 mph.
