Find the range and mean of each data setUse your results to compare the two data sets A 3 10 7 17 21 Set B 13 16 16 17 14 The range of set A is Type an integer or a decimal )
The range of set A is 18 (21-3)
The mean of set A is (3+10+7+17+21)/5 = 11.6
The range of set B is 3 (17-14)
The mean of set B is (13+16+16+17+14)/5 = 15.2
Comparing the two data sets, we can see that set A has a larger range and a lower mean compared to set B. This suggests that the values in set A are more spread out and have a wider range of values, while the values in set B are more closely clustered around the mean.
To find the range of a data set, we subtract the minimum value from the maximum value.
For data set A:
Minimum value: 3
Maximum value: 21
Range = Maximum value - Minimum value
Range = 21 - 3
Range = 18
Therefore, the range of data set A is 18.
