Example Question #61 : How To Find Range
Find the range of the numbers:
The range is the highest value subtract the lowest value in the data set.
The highest value is 11. The lowest value is 1.
Subtract the numbers.
The answer is .
Example Question #62 : How To Find Range
Find the range in the following sets of numbers:
To find the range in a set of numbers, we find the difference of the smallest number and the largest number.
In this number set
the smallest number is and the largest is .
The range is .
Example Question #63 : How To Find Range
What is the range of the dataset:
The range is the highest number in the dataset subtract the lowest number.
Identify the highest and lowest number. The higher negative the number, the lower the number.
The highest number is 25. The lowest number is negative nine.
Subtract both numbers.
The answer is .
Example Question #62 : How To Find Range
Find the range of the following data set:
10, 32, 11, 6, 18, 45, 32, 15, 1, 2, 32
35
11
15
32
45
35
To find the range of a data set, you find the difference of the smallest and the largest number in the set.
In this example, the smallest number is 10. The largest number is 45. The difference of 10 and 45 is 35 (45 - 10 = 35).
Therefore, the range of the data set is 35.
Example Question #2063 : Algebra 1
Given the following set of data, calculate the range and the mean. Please choose the answer with the correct values for Range,Mean in that order.
The range is calculated by taking the highest value and subtracting the lowest value. With data sets, you must always include the zeros! :
The mean is calculated by summing all values in the data set and dividing by the total number of data points. Again, you must include the zeros:
Example Question #65 : How To Find Range
Find the range of the following dataset:
The range of a dataset is the difference of the lowest number from the highest number in the set.
There are two unknown variables in the dataset, .
We cannot assume that the dataset is in chronological order, and we cannot assume that and are the greatest numbers in the set.
Because the variables are not defined, we do not have enough information to solve for the range.
The answer is:
Example Question #63 : How To Find Range
Find the range of the following set of numbers.
To solve, simply use the formula for the range. Thus,
Example Question #64 : How To Find Range
Find the range of the following set of numbers:
None
To find the range, simply subtract the smallest number from the largest. Thus,
Example Question #68 : How To Find Range
A group of students recorded data on the amount of rainfall that occurred in their town daily. They recorded the data in inches.
What is the range of their data set?
This problem is asking us to solve for the range for the students' data set. This can easily be solved for once we take into account that range is merely the difference between the greatest number in the set and the lowest.
In order to easily see which number is the lowest and which is the greatest, we can first organize our data set from smallest to greatest.
Now we can easily identify 1.7 being the smallest number and 6.5 being the greatest in this data set. Now we may take the difference of these numbers and solve for the range.
Example Question #65 : How To Find Range
Tom is driving from Los Angeles to San Francisco. During his drive, he cruise controlled his car for an hour at different speeds. These speeds were
What was the range of his speed when he was cruise controlling?
This problem is asking us to solve for the range of Tom's speed. This can easily be solved for once we take into account that range is merely the difference between the greatest number in the set and the lowest.
In order to easily see which number is the lowest and which is the greatest, we can first organize our data set from smallest to greatest.
Now we can easily identify 62 being the smallest number and 88 being the greatest in this data set. Now we may take the difference of these numbers and solve for the range.
