remember that
range = greatest - least which can be arranged to greatest = least + range or least = greatest - range -- (1) these data concern ranges only; there is no indication whatsoever of how the heights compare. insufficient (2) the greatest height in class a is taller than its counterpart in class b, but we know nothing about the ranges; if class a has a wider spread, its least height could well be shorter than that of class b. insufficient (together) greatest height in class a = g - r greatest height in class b = h - s the given inequalities imply that g - r > h - s sufficient -- alternatively, you could have formulated g - r and h - s at the beginning of the problem (i.e., before considering statements (1) and (2) alone); these formulations make it perhaps even easier to see that (1) and (2) individually are insufficient. |
