Which data set has the widest spread? a. data set a: 3, 1, 2, 6, 7, 2, 5 b. data set b: 4, 9, 4, 5, 3, 6, 8 c. data set c: 1, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8, 5 d. data set d: 4, 3, 4, 7, 2, 3, 1 e. data set e: 5, 1, 4, 2, 6, 9, 2

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

Step-by-step 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.
