Answer 1

Answer: B has greater spread than A.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Set A: {38, 12, 23, 48, 55, 16, 18}

Range of A = Highest - Lowest

Range of A = 55 - 12

Range of A = 43

Set B:{44, 13, 24, 12, 56}

Range of B = Highest - Lowest

Range of B = 56 - 12

Range of B = 44

Since Range of B is more than range of A.

Hence, B has greater spread than A.
