Answer: Set A has a wider spread because its range is greater

Explanation:

The first step is to rearrange the data for each set in ascending order. We have

Set A = (4, 6, 7, 9, 11, 11, 15, 16, 18, 20, 24,28

Range = ,maximum - minimum

maximum = 28

minimum = 4

Range = 28 - 4 = 24

Set B = (3, 5, 9, 9, 12, 15, 16, 21,21 ,24

maximum = 24

minimum = 3

Range = 24 - 3 = 21

The range of set A is greater than that of B. Thus, Set A has a wider spread.
