Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the range for Los Angeles

The range is the difference between the maximum and minimum values. For Los Angeles, the maximum value is 74 and the minimum is 61. Range = 74 - 61 = 13.

Step2: Calculate the range for Miami

For Miami, the maximum value is 87 and the minimum is 60. Range = 87 - 60 = 27.

Step3: Compare the ranges

Since 13 < 27, Los Angeles has less variability in temperatures.

Answer:

Los Angeles has less variability in temperatures because the range of temperatures in Los Angeles (13) is less than the range of temperatures in Miami (27).
