Car Company A: 35, 28, 35, 30, 31, 36, 35, 30
Car Company B: 29, 33, 40, 27, 34, 34, 34, 25
The following data sets represent the highway fuel efficiency in miles per gallon (mpg) of randomly selected cars from two car companies. Which company has cars that are more consistent in highway fuel efficiency?
Car Company A is more consistent, because the range of highway fuel efficiency of its cars is lower than that of Car Company B.
Car Company B is more consistent, because the range of highway fuel efficiency of its cars is lower than that of Car Company A.
Cars from both companies have equally consistent highway fuel efficiency.
Car Company A is more consistent, because the range of highway fuel efficiency of its cars is higher than that of Car Company B....
Car Company B is more consistent, because the range of highway fuel efficiency of its cars is lower than that of Car Company A.
U sure
Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. I made an error in my analysis. Let's calculate the range of highway fuel efficiency for both car companies to determine which one is more consistent.
For Car Company A:
Range = 36 (max) - 28 (min) = 8
For Car Company B:
Range = 40 (max) - 25 (min) = 15
Therefore, Car Company A has a range of 8 mpg, while Car Company B has a range of 15 mpg. This means that Car Company A is more consistent in highway fuel efficiency, as it has a lower range compared to Car Company B. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
