Answer 2

Option E is correct that is Data set E has widest Spread.

Explanation:

We are given 5 Data Sets.

We need to find the data set with widest spread.

We know that Spread of the data set = Maximum value - Minimum value

Data set A).

Maximum value = 7

Minimum value = 1

Spread = 7 - 1 = 6

Data set B).

Maximum value = 9

Minimum value = 3

Spread = 9 - 3 = 6

Data set C).

Maximum value = 8

Minimum value = 1

Spread = 8 - 1 = 7

Data set D).

Maximum value = 7

Minimum value = 1

Spread = 7 - 1 = 6

Data set E).

Maximum value = 9

Minimum value = 1

Spread = 9 - 1 = 8

So The Maximum spread among all data set = 8

Therefore, Option E is correct that is Data set E has widest Spread.
