Set B

2 4 6 8 10
24 A 8 10
*2

Answer 1

Answer: C. The typical value is greater in set A. The spread is greater in set B.

Explanation:

The typical value is shown by the red arrows in this case. For set A, this value is 7. For set B, this value is 6. 7 > 6, meaning that the typical value is greater in set A

The spread is similar to the range. The largest value minus the smallest value. For set A, 9 - 6 = 3. For set B, 10 - 3 = 7. 3 < 7, meaning that the spread is greater in set B.

This leaves us with option C as our answer;

The typical value is greater in set A. The spread is greater in set B.
