Find the range of each set of data.
Set 1:1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12
Range =
Set 2: 230, 24, 33, 22, 41
Range =
Which set of data has a wider spread of data?

Set 1 range= 11
Set 2 range= 208
Set 2 has wider spread of data

Hope this helped!

Range of set 1 = 11 and Range of set 2 = 208

set 2 has wider spread of data.

Step-by-step explanation:

Range of each set of data :

Set 1 :   1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

To find the range of the data first we will arrange the values in ascending order which means from least to greatest.

1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12

Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.

Largest value = 12

smallest value = 1

∴ Range of the data set = 12 - 1 = 11

Set 2 :    230, 24, 33, 22, 41

Arrange these values from lowest to greatest.

22, 24, 33, 41, 230

Largest value = 230

smallest value = 22

∴ Range of the data set = 230 - 22 = 208

To find the spread of data set is to identify the data range. Set 1 has the range of 11 and data set 2 has the range of 208.

Therefore, the range of set 2 is greater, so set 2 has wider spread of data.
