Solution

The correct option is A >
The given data set in sample1 is

4, 3, 9, 8, 7

Range = Maximum value - Minimum value

Maximum value = 9

Minimum value = 3

Range = 6

The data set in sample 2 is

7, 8, 4, 3, 5

Maximum value = 8

Minimum value = 3

Range = 8 - 3 = 5

Hence, range of sample 1 is greater than range of sample 2.
