Answer 1

The range is the difference between the greatest and least values in a set of data.

For Contest 1, the greatest kite height is 170 feet and the least kite height is 112 feet, so the range is:

170 - 112 = 58 feet

For Contest 2, the greatest kite height is 160 feet and the least kite height is 85 feet, so the range is:

160 - 85 = 75 feet

The difference between the ranges is:

75 - 58 = 17 feet

Therefore, the answer is B. 17.
