Answer

Set E: mean = 202.4, range = 366 Set F: mean = 140.8, range = 24

Work Step by Step

To find the mean, we add up all of the values and divide by the total number of values. Mean E: $\frac{113+183+479+120+117}{5} = 202.4$ Mean F: $\frac{145+129+153+135+142}{5} = 140.8$ To find the range, we subtract the smallest term from the largest term. Range E: $479-113 = 366$ Range F: $153-129 = 24$ The mean and range of Set E are greater than the mean and range of Set F.
