The delivery times of both restaurants are equally consistent.
Restaurant 1 is more consistent, because the range of its delivery times is lower than that of Restaurant 2.
Restaurant 2 is more consistent, because the range of its delivery times is higher than that of Restaurant 1.
Restaurant 2 is more consistent, because the range of its delivery times is lower than that of Restaurant 1.
To determine which restaurant has more consistent delivery times, we can calculate the range for each restaurant.
For Restaurant 1:
Range = 46 - 37 = 9 minutes
For Restaurant 2:
Range = 42-37 = 5 minutes
Since Restaurant 2 has a lower range of delivery times, it is more consistent compared to Restaurant 1. Therefore, the correct answer is:
Restaurant 2 is more consistent, because the range of its delivery times is lower than that of Restaurant 1.
