Example Question #55 : How To Find Range

A group of students recorded humidity for a week for a project. Here is their data set:

10%, 7%, 23%, 100%, 2%, 6%, 3%

What is the range of their data set?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The range of the data set is the difference between the greatest and lowest values of a data set. In order to solve for range, you must order the data set from least to greatest so you may take the difference. 

The data set:

10%, 7%, 23%, 100%, 2%, 6%, 3%

may be rearranged as follows:

2%, 3%, 6%, 7%, 10%, 23%, 100%

This allows us to see that the smallest number is 2% and the greatest is 100%.

Therefore, in order to solve for the range:

Example Question #54 : How To Find Range

What is the range of a class's state exam results if the scores are the following?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The range of the data set is the difference between the greatest and lowest values of a data set. In order to solve for range, you must order the data set from least to greatest so you may take the difference. 

The data set:

may be rearranged as follows:

This allows us to see that the smallest number is 31 and the greatest is 94.

Therefore, in order to solve for the range:

Example Question #55 : How To Find Range

Find the range of the class's data set.

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The range of the data set is the difference between the greatest and lowest values of a data set. In order to solve for range, you must order the data set from least to greatest so you may take the difference. 

The data set:

may be rearranged as follows:

This allows us to see that the smallest number is 25 and the greatest is 60.

Therefore, in order to solve for the range:

Example Question #632 : Statistics And Probability

Find the range of the following data set:

10, 32, 11, 6, 18, 45, 32, 15, 1, 2, 32

Possible Answers:

45

11

35

15

32

Correct answer:

35

Explanation:

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.
