Answer 1

D) Jacoby, Alvin, Zachary, Doug

Explanation:

you look at the difference between each player's highest and lowest and then order them from least to greatest.

Answer 2

The order from least to greatest variation in golf scores is Jacoby, Alvin, Zachary, and Doug. So, the correct order is D) Jacoby, Alvin, Zachary, Doug.

To determine the variation in scores for each golfer, we calculate the difference between their best and worst scores:

Alvin: -3 (best) - (+8) (worst) = -11

Doug: +5 (best) - (+24) (worst) = -19

Jacoby: -1 (best) - (+9) (worst) = -10

Zachary: -2 (best) - (+13) (worst) = -15

Ordering the players from least to greatest variation, we get:

Jacoby (-10)

Alvin (-11)

Zachary (-15)

Doug (-19)

Therefore, the correct order is D) Jacoby, Alvin, Zachary, Doug, representing the least to greatest variation in scores.
